I think it ' s to do with being able to connect to your history . I live in Australia , but my parents are British , and I ' ve spent a fair bit of time in the UK . There ' s just no history here , compared to the UK . And while that may not matter to you , it does matter to many people . <| sep |> You don ' t need it unconditionally . You need it on the condition that you want to live . Your life isn ' t necessary . <| sep |> It simply cannot have been before reset , that is the only thing that affects starting enrage . <| sep |> Download the offline editor and get familiar with the software and where settings are . Once you get your hands on the desk it will most likely already be setup to be fairly user friendly . Depending on how much time you have , be careful with messing with plugins . Meaning you can over thinkover use them and you end up mixing in circles . I ' ve seen a lot of folks sort of forget the fundamentals because they ' ve got their head in the plugins . My advice would be to load up a few that you ' ll think you ' ll use and drop them in as necessary and use the onboard channel processing for everything else . Obviously if your familiar with plugs and how you like to use them then disregard that statement . It ' s just a general observation that I ' ve seen as a house guy w an sc 48 . As far as workflow on the control surface , like many desks there are several ways to get at something . Again depending on time , I would just pick one method and stick with it for the day unless you have the leisure to mess around with it . If your familiar with pro format desks , you ' ll be fine . Oh , if you ' re a flip to faders person , keep in mind that whatever you ' ve selected on the left is on the faders . That includes pan , hpf , and GAIN ! Watch that yellow button . Lol
