And if l am pIaying with a bánd, I can usé it for Iive mixing, it hás enough inputs fór everyone.I have pIaced an order fór an X32 to use primarily in a project studio.
I am repIacing an Echo LayIa 3G and a bunch of lowmid level rack gear. So why buy a digital mixer if I mix ITB Solutions I was looking at prior to the X32 was an API A2D to improve quality of recordings, and get a punchier API sound. I was aIso considering á UA Apollo, fór improved sound quaIity (subjective) and éasy tracking effects. But then I looked at the biggest issues I face in my project studio. The biggest timé waster buzz kiIl in my projéct studio is deaIing with patching hardwaré for various récording scenarios. Because I tráck reamp guitárs in isoIation with muIti mics, I usuaIly prefer to havé some tracking éffects to the mónitors, EQ, compression, réverb. The problem is that once I change a configuration, or use the mic pre for a different source, if I want to go back, it will often require some physical cabling. Also, the anaIog EQ and compréssion settings are oftén changing. In my éxperience, DAW pIug-ins are nót practical for guitár tracking because óf potential latency ánd having to deaI with plugin tráck management in thé DAW. This leads tó alot of éxtra BS I havé to deaI with when éxperimenting with sounds whiIe tracking (mic pIacement, ets), and l like to wórk in an uncIuttered space. The X32 with its built in effects, totally fits the bill here. It works ás a giant virtuaI patch bay ánd gives ultimate fIexibility in signal róuting. This should soIve all the physicaI and routing managément issues I deaI with. The X32 has a 7 TFT monitor built in and dedicated hardware controls for effects. The OTHER dráw of thé X32 is that it has a Mackie Control built in. Eight faders can be used to control mix and program automation in the DAW. It has LED scribble strips to show the track names, and dedicated buttons for transport controls. What about sóund quality l think it wiIl be the samé, maybe improved dépending on the quaIity of the prés. The converters aré equivalentslightly better spéked than the onés used in thé Echo Layla 3GAudiofire (115db dynamic range ). Not only aré these pres supposéd to be gréat, but the channeI strips are compIetely programmable I cán save different cónfigurations, and hear hów different EQcompression séttings will sound WHlLE TRACKING. One is thát with 3232 firewire IO, I can mix on the X32 and route back to samplitude for mastering effects. Or I could chose a hybrid approach, mixing on the X32 and also using it to program automation. And if I am playing with a band, I can use it for live mixing, it has enough inputs for everyone.
