RE: A Question for Steve Roughley
Thanks for posting that sample and telling me about the "A" key. Sound.
My virus is cool but to be honest, over the last 3/4 weeks, I've been using the es1 more (version 5 is on order) and I'm managing to get a more techy bass/stabs/etc sound out of it.
The thing I find with the virus is that it does take up alot of headroom once I get past using 3 sounds. Also, with me using the exs24 coupled with the es1 mt tracks seems to be so much tighter. The stabs sound like stabs(really percussive) and groove along with the drums.
Now, when I get Logic 5 and start using the es2, I think my techy house will almost be ready.
Its really annoying that you can't assign individual outs though in version 5 (although the tech at emagic said you could but Bedwyr said you can't). I mean my plan is to sell my hardware samplers and maybe a synth and I want to have 24 outputs from 3 terratec cards each running down individual channels on my desk. This way I can used the desk eq and use outboard compression and reverb to warm up the sound (don't wanna be too digital).
It seems mad that you can't individually assign say audio instrument 1 to the card output 1. I know I can hard pan samples but that means I will have to use 1 sound per 1 track if I want that sound to be pannable on my desk. There must be a way round it?
Cheers.
