When it comes to technology, it's important to remember what it means to cook for ourselves as it becomes something we depend on like food and water. This is why we offer community workshop space for anyone who wants to get a hands-on experience. Feel free to stop by any time. We're always happy to help.

Modern dedicated hardware units are just AIO DAWs that can't be reprogrammed 🙁 so here's an upgraded version of my Dawg FX pedalboard. An FC-200 foot controller with a salvaged ASUS GL703VD motherboard, i7-7700HQ, 32GB RAM, and 96KHz fully duplex audio interface, featuring Reason 12 as the most powerful live sampler of all time 🙂

Education will always be a priority at the Tech Exchange. Here we have an ambitious individual opening up their own laptop to get the model of the battery. Should arrive in about 5 days, then we'll come back for installation and calibration.

Xbox Series X HDMI port replacement. These boards wick heat really well making it extremely difficult to solder. On the other hand, who doesn't like a good challenge ;)

We couldn't find replacement RCA jacks for this subwoofer, so we installed individuals because they're much stronger and easier to replace for the next person. After a bit of wiring, turned out much better than the original.
