Hey all,
Hope this is the right area for this. I practice and track my drums by using Focusrite's Control software to just hear the live mics (and mix accordingly), but what can I do if I want to hear the post processed sound? I'm mostly focused on the kick sound, as I play prog/metal and hearing that really defined/punchy (post eq/comp) kick drum would be helpful. I don't have any outboard gear, my signal is mic > Clarett. Is it worth it for me to get a hardware mixer with EQ/Comp/Gate built in to sit between my drums and my interface, or should I just set up my DAW to do this, nix the live feed and practice with my DAW open? Is there any sort of other software I can run to apply VST stuff to my drums/Focusrite Control the way you might use a standalone guitar sim like Bias/Amplitube, or am I over complicating this?
Thanks in advance!
