I've only recently removed the mixer from my primary workstation. For the
most part, it's been replaced by a Mackie passive Big Knob - a big volume
knob between my Delta 1010's outputs and my powered monitors. I've
always preferred hardware volume controls, as there'd be times something
would happen, like using a plugin that unexpectedly ups the gain by a
zillion dB, causing a horrific howl. Rather than fumble with the mouse
and look for a control, I want the big knob or fader that I can pull down
NOW to make the bad noise stop.
Right now I'll do overdubbing at that station with a little ART preamp,
but I'm considering getting one nice preamp for the small rack that as the
1010 I/O unit and a patchbay.
