Hi everybody, I'm making a complete upgrade of my studio and I'm planning to buy an Apollo 8 Interface, with Studio One 3 Professional.
I plan to buy an iMac (Apple iMac ME088LL/A 27-Inch Desktop, Operating System : Mac OS X Yosemite) with external drive for playback and another external drive for backup. The new StudioLive CS18AI as a control surface, NI Komplete 10 with the waves plugin bundle. Komplete Kontrol for Komplete 10 and Maschine Studio as Midi controllers.
My main goal is to make a huge portfolio of music for moves, videogames, etc. So I will be recording only Voice, guitar and bass, Analog synths, all one at a time. I will be using a lot of Komplete Virtual Instruments simultaneously, Lots of plugins and effects.
I have a few questions:
Any idea if Mac OS X Yosemite works well with NI and waves ?
Is Apollo 8 is a good choice or there are better thunderbolt Interfaces around the same price out there ?
Does Apollo 8 work well with hardware synths used as midi within the DAW ( Moog voyager rackmount ) ?
Preamps and AD/DA quality ?
Pros and Cons of anything in this list ?
Thanks!
