| i definately at least sum OTB, use the outboard gear i have (compressors, verbs, etc.), and if only out of habit i expect to stay in an actual mixer for a while. the pictures, from 2006, still show my older analogue board. now i am using a yamaha dm2000, all 96 channels of it. that gets me a pretty killer DAW interface, lots of IO, good clock and coverters, and i just plain like it.
since i can send many individual channels in to the computer, i've gotten used to doing pretty typical multi track recording of the synths into the daw where i can mess around with stuff. no doubt the vintage gear sounds great but might have looser timing. i don't do the BT thing of editing every note to sample accuracy, i simply don't mind a little looseness. but i am given to editing and messing around with stuff in the box. right now i'm using DP mostly, but i have logic and am trying to get up to speed on it since it's feature set seems good for the kind of midi setups i'm seeing in this thread.
now i'm off to listen to some of the audio clips in the thread. |
