Haha yeah I know I'm just pumped up with this shit
Seriously tho I never thought before that I'd need them but what got me thinking was that I also just got hold of a 16channel mixer & my first actual hardware compressors and i realised that to be able to put them to good use I actually need all of those outputs and so I just had to get them. i've only scratched the surface with the 8-outs but they really do change things up in a lot of ways.
Then again if you do all of your mixing and whanot on the computer then it's a different thing I guess.. And I don't have anything MIDIed up so all the sounds are coming out from the mpc
I'm trying to go the hardware route, you know quality over quantity. Get something, learn to work with it first and then see what else you need.
I think of it (having hardware over plug-ins) like having instruments: I don't need all of the drum kits in the world, just one good kit that works for me is enough. Then you can always get another snare to change things up etc
And I don't know about the bump not being there dude... imagine a freeway with two lanes. then imagine a freeway with eight lanes. now guess which one got more oomph going on at the same time?
peace
I don't use the 8out regular but that is just because I usually use the 2000 as sequencer only. But there are people who said that the 8outs doesn't "bump" as the stereo outs does. I never did a A/B comparison tho so I can't tell you first hand.
