having messed around with cheap soundcards, bad quality a/d converters and software mixing, i've come to the conclusion that i hate it.
i don't want to start an analogue vs digital debate, so i'd appreciate some experienced opinions on my grand idea:
using a motu 24io, i plan to sequence/record all my hardware synths etc with *tiny* latency back into my pc. i like rudimentary mixing during composition to help me "visualise" how a track is going to sound when completed. so, i will record clean channels of each input and buss them to plugins for this purpose.
for final mixdowns, however, i want the tump factor.
i'm planning on building 24(!) of gyraf's calrec eq clones, and a couple of compressors to use as sends (new york school of mixing)
this seems like my most cost-effective, rewarding and ultimate-sounding solution. any thoughts? am i being plain stupid and are there other DIY alternatives that will give me a full 24 channels of sweet eq and maybe more?
cheers, tripledot.
