Reaper & Presonus Quantum 26x32 - any tips?
Blowing the dust off and upgrading my "project" studio.
After much hand-wringing, I ordered a Quantum 26x32, computer parts to support Thunderbolt 3, (on Windows 10) and various other pieces either worn or outdated.
Does anyone have any "must do" tips for using the Quantum with Reaper? I'm specifically interested in monitor latency with effects, since I'll be building up tracks one or two at time as I can get people in the door, and dry monitoring isn't all that exciting to most.
The PC is getting a new main board with Thunderbolt. The CPU is a 2-year-old i7-6700K, the boot/scratch drive is SSD, and the storage drive is a good quality 1TB HDD.
I don't know yet which sample rate I'll land on, primarily because I don't know whether I'll need to use the (external) ADAT mic pre's or not. If so, it will be 44.1/24 . If not, probably 96/24 .
I'm rusty with Reaper; I tend to go like crazy on projects then wander off for 5 years or so...
Thanks!
