I use the Roland QuadCapture audio interface. the control panel is practically inaccessible, but the important stuff is accessible. you can set various important settings like sampling rate etc, but you can’t use the built-in effects like compression etc. But, that’s not a problem since those functions are available elsewhere. What I like most about the Roland QC is the auto gain setting. a press of a button and the unit will auto sense your mic levels and set the gain accordingly.
Also, in the control panel, manually setting the gain is accessible as VO will announce the changes in the gain knob setting as you turn up or down the gain knob. So, if you know what level you want, you can dial it in with VO feedback. It has some interesting quirks also that make it quite versatile. You can assign the input and output drivers to either the same app as in your favorite DAW, or assign each driver to a different app, in which case the unit intelligently handles the various mix functions in some interesting ways that I won’t elaborate on here. > On Apr 6, 2015, at 3:11 PM, Christopher-Mark Gilland <[email protected]> > wrote: > > I'd have to look.
