I was thinking about
this piece, and wondering if it would be good for me.
What I'd like to do is to start building/buying some hardware pieces, comp, reverb, etc. I thought I would get an analog console. I thought this might be kind of cool, maybe do submixes out of ptle into the trident console, have its eq, overall signal path, and the hardware signal processing, then back into pt.
Granted I'd need 8 channels of a/d d/a (ideally) to go with it, but I was wondering if any of you guys (and ladies) work this way. Would 8 channels not be enough?
I think it might be ok for me. I don't use a lot of midi, I don't use TONs of plugs, 98% of the plugs I add are comp and reverb, the very occasional delay, phaser or something else. I mean, the limit of 8 channels would be a drag, but it's a trident console, so you would get that sound.
thoughts?
