Well, occasionally, you might want to track with certain reverbs or delays on certain tracks. It can sometimes help inspire a performance. Also, for those who track with amp simulation, it's a pretty big consideration. Again, I'm sure that'll all change in the very near future.
Not sure about the surround question. For the longest time, surround was only for HD. that's not to say you couldn't approximate a surround mix with a host system but you could only keep the mix static rather than doing dynamic pans between, say, left and right surround channels. That might have changed with 10, I haven't ever checked. The only surround stuff I've done was in HD. Slau On Apr 5, 2013, at 12:25 PM, Jon Solitro wrote: > Yeah thats what I was thinking.
