Then you record this signal with your DAW. you use the volume levels to get an appropriate level signal. When you record your instruments through your "buddy", lets call it an interface. Isn't there any interfaces without this extra software control of the interface?įor whatever reason I can't quote you so let me just answer like this: Here is the link (scroll to the bottom and look at what I am talking about) The software mixer adds another control to affect and complicate the output gain staging is an easy way to say it, I guess. If I was using itunes or something instead of a DAW, I would have a volume there, plus I would have to pull that mixer screen up to adjust the output volume and I would also have a volume control on the front of the "buddy" interface as well. Look at the link I posted, if you go to the bottom and look, for that particular interface, there is a mixer function you load in addition to a regular driver that adds extra controls beyond what is in the DAW and on the front of the interface. I don't want a middle man software program that also controls stuff like a mixer to add extra complexity. Then go to the master section on my DAW and use it to control the volume there unless it was too loud or soft at which point I could just turn the "buddy" hardware knobs up or down a little. Then turn my "buddy" hardware controls on about halfway.
See how this balancing act could get things f*cked up pretty quick.
So, if I wanted to turn the interface up, I would have to do a balancing act between the volume knob on the front of the "buddy" hardware, go to the mixer app or software screen for the "buddy" and turn output up, and then go to my DAW and turn it's output or master up. You go to your DAW in/out page and set that up for the "buddy". Then you install the "buddy" drivers and software.
You get an audio interface and hook it up, let's call it audio "buddy".
