what are they? how are they wired? inputs? outputs?
since been employed recently im reading up on hardware, what i need, what i want, where to put it and what'll suit me etc.....

but ive no real idea how an ideal setup should run so im a bit lost. right now ill make loops in reason, sequence in cubase with maybe 8-12 audio tracks, maybe 2-4 send FX tracks, a few inserts, and then a few midi tracks for maybe absynth or reaktor.

usually i will have an idea how a song will sound after messing around in reason, but what about producers starting in cubase (or whatever) from scratch....

would any drum modules u use have multiple out, and therefore cubase would allow the highs to 1 channel, the kik to another etc....

would a synth be able to handle more than 1 patch running and likewise can cubase handle them grand?

is using an external fx panel easy to set up and to add as send/inserts to a bus

i know this is a broad topic, but its something ive been wonderin for a while and ive never really had a chance to see a full setup workin in the flesh.

so what do u have and how do u wire it and how do u find it? :!: [/i]
