Late start.  Wasn't feeling particularly motivated, but had plenty to work on.

Progress on musical and technical fronts.

 

Ardour research
- crackling caused by USB port, took notes of which ports are problematic
- even low latencies (1.2ms) are noticeable.  Perhaps we don't need Ardour monitoring at all?

Don't want any specific goals yet.

Feeling motivated.
