Sorry, I withdrew my comment, because I wasn’t sure if it was relevant.
But yeah I just sold an OT and got an AR instead, because I prefer working with that one for the main idea for a track. But now I’m thinking if I Should get an OT as well as a sort of recorder, resampler, editor and re-worker station. Where I would also get an AH to resample and mix through and back Into OT. I could of course just pull in recorded stems when finished, but I’ve been looking for an excuse to get an SSL 2+ mainly for its 4k mode. It really brings everything foward. More full and more clear. Of course I could achieve a similar result in the daw with a bit of work.
And I’m not sure if editing on OT becomes a pain in the butt. It should be easier in Live. Mainly because I want to dubmix, so if I have to record an fx track in and edit on OT, will that work? Right now I have a 24 Channel mixer with 6 auxes for fx sends, for the Very purpose of doing more complex dubmixing. But there’s just something about having a small and tight setup. 1 drum machine (AR), 1 mono synth (DFAM) and 1 poly synth (Opsix). I’m pretty picky with gear anyways. Not in a snobby way though. Then have have a few, And then have a small but great sounding mixer, Analog Heat and SSL+. But there’s several fx Units that I want, so It’d not gonna be that simple anyways.
So maybe instead I Should have 2 production islands. The main one, with 5 Instruments. AR, DFAM, Op6, TT-303 and Reface CP. Into the big mixer with several fx units. Doing dubmixing and multitracking. Then edit and mix in Live.
Then having a smaller setup with just something like OT plus a couple of synths, then Into a small good sounding mixer, a few great fx, AH and SSL+. I even have a 2nd, but not as good laptop to record Into at the end.
All different ways to go about things
