(new question check 4th page) Ok I'm kind of confused on this and seems like these are going to be some really "dumb" questions So prepare yourself
What is the difference here?
you have a audio interface like a Presonus firestudio that has your xlr inputs, gain controls, built in pre-amps, etc. And then you run it to a DAW, protools, whatever. Simple enough, you do all your mixing in your work station.
Then there's a mixing board. Has the same features, built in pre-amps, controls. Only real difference (that I'm aware of) is that most have an EQ feature, compression, talk back, and things like that. It is just your mixing set-up that is in every DAW.
But then you still have to go through a DAW?...What's the point of a mixing board in a studio then, say the Presonus StudioLive, if you still have to run it to a DAW to mixdown and export?
They're both interfaces, I get that. maybe some of you guys can clue me in here.
thanks guys!
