My console has MIDI, SPDIF and AES/EBU but my interface only has SPDIF so I guess the answer for me is no. Thanks though!

Can a console be synced with a DAW so the channels on the console correlate with the tracks in the DAW?

Seth MacFarlane just killed it! He sounded just like Frank in a couple spots. He was a pleasant surprise ! Enjoyed Gaga as well , they seamed "get it " rather than just " sing it"! Often the hardest part when a singer covers something that everybody has stamped in their brain, is getting the feel right and not the performance, most of us don't know the notes , but we know the feel! Gaga was pretty good, she coulda held that last note a little longer though Connick had a nice tone but lacked power, Macfarlane is just a monster, that guy can sing!

No doubt, there's nothing like the satisfaction one enjoys when their team is barely able to beat a team down to its practice squad and a water boy due to injuries. Enjoy it while it lasts Tony. oh my, my beloved Eagles are just awful!! thats what makes it so dang funny ahahahah! The Patriots had a bad day, too bad they couldn't apply that desperation play they showed at the end of the game, to the whole game.

28 points is a lot considering all their injuries. If any other team had the same injuries they'd score 3

I read Sinatra learned breath control from working with trombone player Tommy Dorsey. from the wiki for Dorsey: "Frank Sinatra achieved his first great success as a vocalist in the Dorsey band and claimed he learned breath control from watching Dorsey play trombone." Buddy Rich was in that same band, they say they were rivals and both wanted the spotlight.

Sinatra was singing with the Tommy Dorsey orchestra in the early-mid 40's. His style never really changed from those early days. He got stronger if anything else.

I've been on both extensively, but once i made the switch to mac, i'll probably never go back, how anyone could say a windows operating system is better than mac os...? is beyond jaw dropping to me, no friggin way in a million years is a windows OS even remotely close to the mac OS, NO WAY! and if you dare go on the webs with your windows machine your braver than I.... good luck Charlie Sheen. Considering the considerable price difference, it better be better! And if an Apple falls prematurely there better be a good excuse.

How about Frank Sinatra! Incredible, warm, clear tone. different era.. Most of his work, or at least his early work wasn't multi-tracked.. A robust industry catering to the few was a necessity. Sinatra is fine, but I'm more a fan of the phrasings of Sara Vaughn or Tony Bennett. I guess Sinatra used an RCA 44 and U-47 back in the day. Yeah it was a different era but it's still the recording industry. Capitol Records. I've always loved Sinatra's style, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr also come to mind as a couple of the greats. They were all heavy smokers too!

I know she uses Autotune but thought some would still like to hear this. Good job regardless.

The Doors and Zeppelin just seemed so warm, realistic and natural, except for a few solo jazz vocalists you just don't see or hear it any more.

Quite often we discuss how great the production was in bands like The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Tom Petty etc.. and how disappointed we are in modern recordings/production, due to new technology like Autotune etc..
Do any of the modern emulation plugins come close at all? Or would one have to purchase nothing but vintage hardware? Or, is that era and how things were done simply gone forever?

I use it to strengthen weak tracks and bring them up to the same level as everything else, however, I'm working on using Melodyne to achieve the same result.

On this topic, there was an article in The New York Times the other day on how industry people were dumbfounded about Adele's new album sales records, and lots of 30-40 year old demographic buyers for first time in 5 years. I thought this was very funny.. I'm not a fan of this genre but GEE turns out when you have a singer with talent people actually want to buy her records, unlike with manufactured garbage pop that constitutes 99% of youtube/streaming/radio these days. Turns out people have taste enough to know an inferior product. That said, there is quite a bit of indie music worth buying and lots of hipster vinyl collectors and HDtracks weirdos who do seem to care, whatever one thinks of them. Personally I hate the sound of most records today, especially that bottom and sample heavy, distortion-limited sound that predominates in many rock and pop genres with little musical development per song either. Just lazy production, very boring at this point to put decapitator and other saturation plugs on everything and boost to death. Hate that shit I think some of it had to do with Adele not offering her album via streaming. People only had one way to get it. I mentioned that some time ago, but not all artists have that option? If all artists can refuse to stream, they should.

I would like to see Adele do an album using the same studio gear and production The Beatles used for their first album. I bet she would pull it off, most today wouldn't.

With the DAW I use it in Parallel, so both engines can be fed with the same signal, with my console I run it in Dual mode with Aux 1/2 then out to the stereo returns on the board.

There are MIDI keyboards these days that double as control surfaces, like the Nektar.
