In my current Band project I use a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 with a Laptop ( Dual Core w. 4 Gb RAM, win7 64Bit and Studio One as Sequencer/DAW)
We Play some Kind of " Soundtrack/Pop-Metal",and for lack of a real keyboarder, A Stereo track with the Synthsounds I created with Trilian/Omnisphere and NI as Wave File is working as a Playback as an Addition to our Giuitar /Bass / Drums.
we have 3 different Monitor Mixes and all of US are using IEM (Inear Monitoring) The Focusrite scarlett has a built in Dsp Zero Latency Mixer ( Scarlett Mix Control), which enables us to Mix the Playback Wave file, the Clicktrack (From Laptop) with the Signals of Guitar , Bass, Vocals....
We use very decent Hardware ( AxeFX2 for Guitars, EBS MicroMic 2 for Bass, Mindprint Envoice 2 Channelstrip for Vocals) to make the use of additional EQs, Compressors , etc. unnecessary, to avoid the use of Plugins while playing.
so my question is: is there a way by using auria ( I have the full Version) and the Focusrite Scarlett without the Computer based Scarlett Mix Control Software?
Focusrite Scarlett Mix allows to Save Settings " to the hardware" to use the Unit Standalone, but without the PC-based Scarlett Mix Control it's Not possible, to change Details in our Inear Mixes.
Is anyone here using the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 only with Auria without the built in dsp-latency-Free Mixer, just by using Auria as complete Live-Mixing-Recording/Playback-Unit ( which the lowest working latency Settings) and Aurias Output Matrix).....just for curiosity....
I really would like to use the Auria/IPad/Focusrite Setup without the Need of an additional Laptop...
Just to be able to create or change the monitor Settings by the fly...to play Back the Synth Track and the Clicktrack, including 3 different Monitormixes.
at the Moment we use 13 Track in our projects ( 6 Tracks for Drums, 2Tracks for guitar, 1 for Bass, 1for Vocals, 2 Channels For the DAW-Playback-Synth and 1 Track for the Clicktrack.....in 24 Bit 48 khz.
What do you think could be the Minimum latency at it's best, by Running Those 13 Tracks including 3different Monitor Mixes?
Any advice would be appreciated,
