Only the drummer showed up, so most of the session involved programming click tracks and line checks. My takeaways:
1. Low buffer size in Mojave is not right, still waiting on a fix. 44.1 @ 128 is golden.
2. I'm keeping my Central Station. Digital volume control (VRS-8) is not for me.
3. The "normal/dynamic" switch on the Slate SDCs feels shady. Hope they hold up.
4. The pres on the VRS-8s are very flat. The raw tracks were kind of a culture shock for me. Engaging the mic models and pres helped bring the tracks to life. The tracks took EQ very well (I instinctively reached for the "air" band on AirEQ). The Mac Mini has more than enough power to serve up any processing needed.
5. My brand-spanking-new Command|8 works flawlessly with Pro Tools 12.6.
6. I have a lot of analog gear to sell.
