So, because the SPL has cascade ability, i bought an API 8200A (standalone 8 mono channel summing, rotary faders and pans), and i run an extra 8 outputs into the API then into the cascade input of the SPL, giving me 24 channels of analog summing, a nice convenience. Now i can use panned mono channels if i want. |
I am not sure if Ken is available to answer this question but if anyone who has or has used the mixdream, here it goes:
Ken mentioned the lack of panning and using the API into the cascade input into the Mixdream. Couldn't someone simply bus their panned tracks to stereo stems in the DAW and send that to Mixdream's stereo inputs? I see the problem with off centered but not hard panned individual tracks requiring inserted external processing. I guess that could be handled with an extra set of DA/AD to get it back into the DAW before apply the pan and sending it back to the MixDream in a stereo stem of some sort. I have heard the Mixdream, like it, but want to be sure I can make it work before going down that road. I really want a small Tonelux rig but I just can't justify the price required for a simple signal routing configuration.
