Your opinion on this is understandable. But if you’d know how i work (as an example), and the plans I have in terms of workflow using OB in detail, you might think differently. I won’t lay this out completely, as that would be a waste of space and time.
No idea why the amount of years in creating music would be relevant, but I’ve been producing music for over 15 years now. And have been an instrumentalist for 25. I know what I want, how I like to work, and how OB would propel this into the next level. I choose my gear very carefully indeed
It’s not a Case (see what I did there) of it being impossible to use (Digitakt), or impossible to record something into a DAW via stereo output into an audio interface. It’s understanding the possibilities when OB is released. I explained this in a previous post.
Yes, you could record every channel one by one into a DAW or HW recorder (if that’s your thing), but this will yield completely different results than recording a track live (and will take ages if you have around 40 potential tracks waiting in the DT), and being able to mix each channel separately afterwards. Recording a track live via the stereo outputs is possible too, but if you, like me, want to mix everything properly, this is not the way to go. It works fine for live performance purposes, but to create releasable tracks it’s not secure enough.
I hope this might’ve given you a better look on why some people want OB. It’s not about needing it to create music, it is about wanting it to take a certain hybrid workflow to the next level.
And ehm, to be able to backup your stuff of course…
