How high can you raise the buffer setting? How many VIs would be in such a production? How would you set up a listen bus for alt headphone monitoring? To me, those things are critical for being able to “happily” record a production. Of course I can print every VI, create all sorts of aggregate devices and buy a mac and simply not use virtual channels and advanced routing. Let’s face it, if someone wanted to record an EDM album, they could probably win a Grammy just using their laptops soundcard.
Like I stated upthread before I was misquoted and taken out of context, I’d like to hear productions made with solely an interface and no other outboard. I own an axefxIII, an fm9 and an fm3. I’m fully invested in the platform. There’s no way I can do what I do at my desk with any of them. My current setup is 3 Apollo x8. I use my Eventide H9000 pretty heavily as well as my SSL bus comp. I guess optical ADAT, out the window right away. Forget about micing my acoustic too. Slate VSX will go on the main out because I have no cues.
And those are the things off the top of my head. Not to mention, I’m just jerking off a step above jamming to YouTube tracks. I’m not really producing anything outside of what friends have sent me.
