With relation to the video, I see that it serves Danoc's point of not "needing an interface" while not taking into account the technical reasoning behind why someone would suggest getting a higher end interface like an RME joint to get around a good portion of latency issues. If his video is in fact a response to that (which it seems to be to me), it just shows that Danoc didn't really understand what the actual argument was about.
He just equated latency issues to not being able to get his hits on the grid - Which would hold true in latency issues however the way he went around to "prove" it was completely off as the MPC X software as well as Reason do not even need an ASIO based driver to lock to the grid (nor could they be classified as a 'DAW' in my opinion). With both, You could have your buffer at something extra retarded like 2048 44.1khz and it would still be fine as it isn't cpu intensive to use either pieces of software. That's why people with no external interface on a 10 year old computer can utilize both and be good with hitting on the grid. It's not like people back in 2000 needed an interface to make beats on Fruity Loops, Acid as the engines required for handling samples was primitive in comparison to how Cubase did at the time. Ask those same people to use a grip of VST plugins and large Kontakt libaries (which MPC Ren, Live, X people are not, and Reason can't even utilize VST as a whole) and it will be an entirely different story, requiring to you need a mid to higher end interface as well as a decent cpu to work at lower buffers. Or you could spend all day rendering each one of your stems to wav to try to handle things, but that can only go so far.
If anyone else here or on gs can find a flaw with my rationalization or something that needs to be corrected here, please by all means do so.
It should also be said - I do not even have beef with Danoc or anyone else for that matter but I'm just being honest here.
I mostly agree with what you said and appreciate your honest point of view... I'll give you/y'all a brief run down of how this all started, at least 5-6 months ago dude was complaining of how his drums are always off the grid, someone asked him what kinda interface was he using his exact reply was" I don't have one, I'm in the box" so people me included said get an interface it will help with those problems, which is true, running a PC with asio using Omnisphere and other plugs, what do you expect! Actually was just trying to help the dude but starboy flipped out saying I don't need no interface!!!!! And that's true you don't need an interface but don't complain when you run into these issues..... And that brings us to the vids he posted that's very confusing to say the least, vid is called you don't need an interface yet he's using the MPC as an interface and programs a couple samples with the MPC hard quantizing to 16th notes, talking bout you see how all my drums are on the grid that's what the MPC does well and has nothing to do with an interface... News Flash most daw's have input quantize too!!!!
