more super8ing

Ah, I forgot how much I like using my super8 live setup. Some information on it:
- Thinkpad X60 (old, old, old C2D 1.83GHz, 4GB RAM, recently upgraded to some incredibly cheap 100GB SSD). Recently I did find out that if you have a failed battery in the system, it kills the DPC latency. Having no battery is OK, though! Just don't pull the plug.
- Zoom R24 (used as an audio interface and controller for levels of 8 channels of super8 output, buttons mapped to choose channels, toggle mic vs guitar DI input)
- Line6 FBV MK II foot controller (mostly just use 3 buttons - one for record/play, one for toggling input distortion, one for toggling input delay).
- Debian (Stretch I think?)
- REAPER (obvs), with track 8 sending to a manual feedback loop that has a delay/compressor/eq/sometimes pitch shifter on it. "Save live output" is used to record the audio.
- All built-in JSFX/reaplugs/etc, including super8 JSFX, spectral hold, some ReaVerb for cab modeling, etc
- One (1) SM58. Used for drums, vocals, flute, sax, acoustic guitar, whatever else.
- R24's hi-Z input is used for guitar/bass
- Video recording: Contour Roam2 -- old, but not Thinkpad X60 old! I also use this to record the bicycle rides, so usually the brightness is a bit off (and the sensor has been failing in weird ways), so I mangle it heavily with a REAPER video processor to make it watchable.
- One custom made wood stand (2x4s and stuff) to hold the laptop/interface
