finally got an audio setup at my desk that i’m super happy with. a set of Klipsch heritage 2.0 speakers + subwoofer, and every device on my desk feeds into it via an analog mixer, so i can hear sounds from all my devices at the same time — work laptop, personal PC, personal mac mini, and iPad! music comes from the iPad (spotify/youtube/Music app) and a macro keyboard for play/pause/prev/next. the iPad is connected to a dock that provides usb and audio and even ethernet.

what amazes me the most about this setup is that the iPad is a _real computer_ it’s just that Apple doesn’t give you fine-grained control over things. example: the USB audio in/out on the dock, when i plug into the dock it switches the audio output over to that automatically (most of the time) but there’s no System Settings option to choose these things.
