I'd only need direct outs if I bought better converters like the Alphalink - other than that I can't think of any other reason to have them.
I really want to get back to mixing as something I enjoy and away from automation - where a mix is more like a 'performance' if you will; when it comes to that, riding faders and so forth I just prefer 100mm - hard to identify, but 60mm don't feel 'right'. |
Cool man!
I'm missing real faders to
The reason why I need this little mixer is because I need a control surface to all my hardware gear. I tried hooking up all my gear to the converters and use the hardware inserts inside Nuendo but it never felt right for me. It's a lot easier to just patch in a compressor and mix on a mixer/console. I dig the hybrid way of using both plug-ins and hardware. The R16 seems right but I do miss the direct outs... I'm not sure I will use the adat I/O all my life. It would be nice to have the direct outs so I can connect the mixer to the system I choose. If that makes sense.
The SSL seems very nice...
The Toft is a little to expensive for me - and I think it's a ugly mixer. I'm not sure I could stand it in my studio. ha!
