[linux-audio-user] Do I have a synth? :-/

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Good point. The other thing you lose comes from your "but you can mix both 
together", which should be completed as "if you have an analog mixing 
console"! :-) If you have to add a console to the $24 of the SB, then it 
becomes a different thing! :-) Plus I'm trying to save physical space and 
build a small studio I can take from place to place (can't record drums in 
my flat for instance).

Because of this, I think I'm more inclined to big CPU and digital mixing. 
The fact that you can do things such as route soft synth sounds to ladspa 
plugins or route different digital audio outputs to the same soundcard 
(thanks to Jack) is a kind of dream come true, I think we all tend to assume 
these possibilities as natural but they are a kind of miracle 
flexibility-wise.

Cheers,

Alex
