Yep, you got it. This is what I'm fiddling with in Eagle. I've learned to mix without knobs and faders for the most part, so tactile control is not something I'll be including in my widget. It's also the expensive part. This is why this thread is so interesting to me, and why I've been asking so many SSL related questions (as you may recall from other forums). This started as a frankenstein job someone asked me to do for them, but it got me thinking. You guys are all in a whole other league from me, as I'm no designer. I really benefit from the ideas you toss around in these threads!JR. wrote:I have given some thought to this and using a simple microprocessor interface, something like my VCA summer could receive control from protools or DAW? could be cheaper than knobs and controls. I wonder if this wouldn't offend the sensibility of OTB analog mixer proponents? A hybrid analog/digital box, to allow an analog sum under digital control.
My sense is we want to use our old toys, and digital plug-ins don't yet accurately mimic how they overload? If when the plug-ins get it right, OTB becomes moot. Note: this includes a plug-in for parallel processing.

PS: Yes I know Paul Wolff from waaay back.. He needs to charge enough that people value his product, and being a small volume mfr he needs to charge more than a larger company for similar BOM.
Thanks!
p.s. Paul's product is great and he's put a lot of time/energy into it. It's priced fairly, but is out of my reach; and many others at my "B" level as well I suspect.
