I’m still stumped on this and it’s a major headache, maybe someone can clear this up for me.
I’m just going to rewind with a bit more detail as I think it’s needed.
I used to work ITB just using Logic but then brought the RYTM and had major timing issues with overbridge. I could never get the machine bang on timing wise, but I kept it and then brought a Virus
TI2. I had similar timing issues with the TI software so decided the best way to get the timing right was take Logic and the imac out of the mix. I looked into MIDI sequencers and decided on a Cirklon to sequence all the MIDI gear. I then brought a sub37 which I didn’t plan to but it was a great deal and not to be passed on.
If I’m using the main output of the virus in multimode I can have upto 16 parts on the go at once, add in the RYTM + Moog I can control everything with the Cirklon with no timing issues.
Everything is going through my Apollo Twin but obviously I’m running out of inputs so this is a major factor, my issue / question is now possibly investing in a mixing desk, however something that I
really cannot get my head around is how do you actually EQ every individual part, say 16 for instance on the virus when you can only have upto six from the individual outputs meaning I go from 16 down to 6?
Seems a bit pointless why they don’t make more outputs on the back of synths imo, what do you think?
Is it bad practice not to have every available synth output on it’s discreet own channel to individually eq? Or is it just a myth i keep hearing?
Do you really have to have to EQ each instrument on it’s own or can you do this say when you have a completed track with 20 tracked already bounced?
I’m really interested to hear how people go about this, I suppose in a way it’s key to me actually buying a desk as when I look at it I would need three TI2 boxes just to achieve 18 individual outputs
which just doesn’t seem right. Maybe I’m wrong with my thinking but I’ve never really understood this aspect and would be really great to actually nail it on the head before I blow aload of cash of something I don’t really understand but would like to know. Your thoughts appreciated.
