Holy shit... this thing sounds good, it's not hype at all, the comps and EQ's sound really good and there's definitely something else going on in these channels, not sure what ...
however...
1. Track management is such a royal pain in the ass it may not be worth it. I dropped in stems from a song, 75 track stems, and I've spent the better part of the time so far moving tracks around,
one by one in track lists.
2. Sends(so far at least) are such a pain I'm using two of the 8 MixBus groups for verbs since the send controls are already there.
Jesus, managing the Ardour 2 UI
sucks balls, but damn again, the compression and saturation and EQ on the MixBus channels sounds f'ing great. I mean, I pushed up the high EQ on the vocal and it opens right up. I know this song well and I know what it sounds like, I've mixed it before.
This presents a
major conundrum. Mix in it and be highly annoyed by the Ardour UI or focus on the sound and ignore the other stuff.
