The Wrackbox MK1
Recording a whole festival is a babysitting job. Someone checks the laptop between sets. Someone swaps the card at 3am. Someone hopes the power holds. Usually that someone was me — so I built a box that doesn't need me. Plug in power, plug in audio, walk away: it records the entire weekend on its own. The timetable goes in once, for all three days — every slot, every break. The box follows the plan by itself, records what should be recorded, and stays quiet when nothing's on.
