[QUOTE="Glenn Bucci, post: 59269, member: 2029"] re: X32 Discussion I am thinking seriously about having a X32 for my project studio. I used to be a DDX3216 owner and for the most part was pretty happy with the unit. With improved converters, pre's, and effects along with scribble strips it looks very appealing. I currently am working with a Mackie Controller Pro and Expander with Cubase. I think the X32 will work best with a DAW if you set your faders in your DAW at unity. Route all your channels from your DAW to a channel in the X32 and then route back to the same channel in Cubase. Mix your tracks with using the faders on the X32 as well as the built in effects. You can still add your favorite plug ins in your DAW as well. When your done with your mix, save the song on the X32 which will recall your settings when you go back into it. I believe Christian mentioned the lastest firmware update will show the names for each track in your DAW on the X32. If you need to do some automation you can use the group tracks with the DAW and automate the volume of a particular track on a song. Another option which I am not familar with is to use the X32 automation for a song. I have not heard much about how the automation works on the X32, but perhaps someone who is familar with it can chime it. For me, this work flow of using the faders on the X32 appeals more than trying to jump between banks of DAW controls. The work flow should be smoother and more enjoyable. It may be worth having a separate transport controller like [url=http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/CMCTP/]Steinberg CMC-TP (Transport Controller) | Sweetwater.com[/url] or [url=http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/FaderPort]PreSonus FaderPort | Sweetwater.com[/url] so you don't have to play with a menu screen on the X32.
