I have a Soundcraft 324 Live that works well for studio use as well. It has some nice pre's and Lexicon processors, and dynamic processors .

"The big selling point is that not everyone can afford one. “It’s a pride of ownership thing,” I'll revert back to my Yamaha MT8-X that's stored in the closet, ahhhhh the warmth of analog cassette tape

I always admired how he just used his foot on the hi hat. It's genius though because it leaves both hands free to do other things.

I started playing drums so I can do my own studio work, I can't afford a pro to come into my home studio, so I have to turn to local drummers, and local drummers have to solo every spare second it seems, it drives me ape shit. I ask for simple single kick beats and I get triplets and Lars Ulrich machine gun double bass :/

I've never bothered switching from Elixir's. My Ibanez is a little mid rangey and they give it a more full sound.

Hmmm maybe that warbling is her natural voice, no mic

He probably realizes he can't tour so why not make a few bucks..

I've never heard a cello sound like that either, it makes my curly hair stand on end. it sounds terrible!!!! I like it, it sounds haunting. Not everything has to sound like the Boston Pops ya know.

Well in this day of auto tune, poor mike technique and little control and enunciation: Adele steps up and nails a live performance. She's bona fide !! Man that gal can sing !!! That was auto tuned to hell and back. You can easily hear the warbling in that isolated vocal. But yes, she can sing. I thought that was the bit rate warbling you hear if you use cheap encoding, like on Soundcloud when uploading MP3's

I'd like to know what they did with the Cello, besides having a really good Cellist.

The fundamental difference is simply that you're making the system more complex by using digital connections. All the machines need to run at the same clock speed...Korg will be locked at 48khz....most FX will be switchable between 44 and 48, but every session will need to be at the established clock else you go around changing all the units. Hook it up analog and your application (via its control of the main interface) can freely switch sample rates and use vari-speed which relies on its ability to alter the rate...and you can run each piece of hardware where it sounds best--i.e., a 44/48 switchable reverb will sound better at 48....a modern daw should be running audio at 88/96....a keyboard might be a 44.1 sample set....and you are using the converters that the hardware sound designers intended--so, the Kronos, for example exposes some oddities in sound connected digitally that are not audible with their DACs which were used for the sound design. Connect it analog, and you never hear those anomalies.... I use SPDIF--because I have an overdub stereo ADC and an unforgiving DAC feeding the monitors. But, if you're not using stand alone higher end conversion units, I don't usually recommend hooking gear up full time digitally. There is "a difference" in the sound, without a doubt, but sometimes that preferable, sometimes it's not, and it's ALWAYS a PIA factor from a functional standpoint for a difference I don't hear as globally "better". Analog is easier functionally, and has the same ratio of "sometimes better sounding sometimes worse" so....go with easy. Thanks, I won't bother with it for now. It does sound like it would be a neater setup due to less cables but I can deal with that.

If I just want to establish an effects loop using hardware rack units into Reaper, does it make a difference rather than using TRS cables?

Thanks, that helps to understand it. All the configurations and settings is what I'm not sure about, going to have to do some reading.

Can someone point me to a good video tutorial or article that covers all the bases? All my gear has this option but it's something I've never used.
Thanks!

My Soundcraft console has dual Lexicon processors built into it, not sure which ones but they sound pretty good.
