Thanks.
Do you use them just for that 80s tone or are they usable for other stuff as well?

Lots of talking but some good insight, not sold on the whole "secret weapon" but it seems like its an interesting device.
The Yamaha chorus sounds pretty cool as well.
He has a vid that shows Apogees in his rack, They likely have DB25 analog outputs on the back that allow him to route ins/outs to the outboard stuff. You have to have a DB25 to XLR snake to connect it all. The Apogee Ensemble interface I got a few months ago has this as well, although I haven't used the DB25 side of it yet, its a great option if you have those items. You have to set up the routing in your DAW (mine is Logic) Logic allows you to set up a template for your tracks/routing so you dont have to do an hour of work to get everything where you want it, you just hit template and the whole DAW scene will come up automatically and your ready to go on another song.

I have most of that stuff and would KILL to use it... anybody know ???

He's using 2 32x32 I/O units for a total of 64 I/Os, BUT he said he works on this stuff all day everyday, so the convenience is nice, BUT I guess you could use one 32x32 or a 24x24 or even an 8x8 with a patchbay IF you don't mind re-plugging gear... I could get by with 32x32, maybe even 24x24 with a patchbay...Dave L":1yshyk4o said:Yeah, I think just about any DAW except Garageband can set up aux sends for outboard gear, just like every mixing board out there, and then it´s just a matter of having enough ins and outs on your interface to fit all the outboard units.
