Not A location sound question but I know some of you work in studios. I'm recording a studio album and thinking through best work flow. Haven't gotten an answer on other forums. Comp A is recording Drums with Cubase and a analogue stereo track from comp B Comp B is used as an "Ableton Instrument" and We'd like to record the automation with in those tracks. Can't run everything on comp A because all the mic pre's are in the mixing room and can't control Ableton from there(usb controllers). Also worried Ableton and Vst's will use to many resources. Both computers are newer maxed on ram and running separate hard drives. The Album is taking a jazz approach so overdubbing is not desirable. Also would like to avoid re-amping and Again we would like to record on Comp B encase a vst automation control is off during a performance. We're using Motu interfaces and can clock them together or use TC but I'm wondering if this is the best workflow. I also thought About sending a scratch track From Comp A to B for playback and then mixing desired takes down later. I'm of the understanding I don't need to clock if I'm not connecting digitally. Over thinking possibly? Wondering how studios are doing it these days being computers are used much more as instruments. Thanks for ideas feedback.
