Been thinking about this myself recently and have been considering getting a apogee rosseta 800 96k with the big ben clock.
Never done this before so dont know much about it but have been reading up a little.
I produce dance music using mainly softsynths and my only hardware will be the virus TI when it comes. I have 2 powercores and 2 uads which I use for effects, mastering all in cubase sx3 and currently at 24/44 (hoping to goto either 24/88 or 24/96 in the next few months when I can afford a new daw)
My soundcard is an RME 9632 and I was thinking of coming out of this with lightpipe into the roesseta being converted and back into my daw via lightpipe again to be recorded....and everything being clocked by the bigben.
I think the RME can handle 4 stereo outs over the adat and the same back in, so im just wondering if this is the best way to set it all up?
I guess this would give me 4 buss' in cubase that I could route different elements of the song to for summing in the DA.
Is it best to send groups to the different buss's? Like percussion, strings/pads, leads, bass etc?
Is it best to do no mastering on those buss's until they are routed back into the sequencer?
If anyone has any info on how best to have it setup and arranged it would be appreciated greatly
