Have a few questions about D8B and bridge...
Posted: Sat Jul 21, 2012 5:52 amHello all! I have some questions about the D8B and the bridge. I'm running a Windows 7 64-bit pc, and I've been looking for a control surface/interface that could be had for a resonable amount of money when I found the D8Bbridge software on ebay. I've been researching here since and am still unclear on a few things...
1. I'm looking for one control surface that will work with various programs, reaper, cubase, etc.etc. It's my understanding that D8B can do this...are there any limitations to having multiple DAW programs installed and using the D8B to control all of them individually?
2. I haven't bought a D8B yet, and I know with the early version of D8Bridge you don't need a complete system (at least I think...?). I'd like to ALSO use the D8B as an audio interface into the DAW...is this possible? Would I still need another external audio interface to get the individual input channels into the DAW?
3. With question 2 in mind...and if the D8B can be used as my interface, then what all do I need to get it connected to the windows 7 64-bit PC? What cards NEED to be included in the D8B to make this happen? I'll need to know this so I know what to look for in a D8B when purchasing. I'm assuming the onboard effects and plug-in cards aren't really necessary because I'll have all types of efx and plugins within the DAW itself...but what DO I need?
Thank you for your time!
