Working together to realize the tools we want is the way I'd like to
see things go. The computer is a large part of production. Most of us
are not likely to contribute coding, but there are ways everyone can
help lay the foundation.
Re: Jamin. The notes say, "To manipulate the parametric controls you
merely left-click on the handle of choice, drag it to the location
you want and then release it. " How would you rate the interface in
terms of hearing the affect of the parametric EQ adjustments-- the
accuracy and finesse of the real time monitoring? Rob D.
