-Motu ultralite
-Emu sp-12
-DP 4.61
-geetar w/ lotsa boxes (direct usually, my music time is most often at night while the house is asleep )
-roland sh-101 for bass/psy on an old MXR limiter pedal and envelope filter
There are 2 not so great preamps on the ultralite but I reserve them for guitar and keys. A favored way to record these days is to play along w/ the sp-12 running while looping guitar and keys in Polar and sending hats, etc. from the sp12 through a Z.Vex Wah Probe (absolutely wicked).
I'm basically really diggin' on playing everything together much like an acid musician would accept I play the instruments too. It amounts to some kind of D+B/J-funk/atmo-trance good time.
I have only been recording/sequencing for 10 months of my life and have soooo much to learn
.Back to topic, the SP12 sounds alright through the pre's but to make music like described above the SP doesn't get pres - so it's gotta be done in the box.
Remember I'm a noob to processing! And I don't have money to spend on new gear for a while, so what would you do with the SP12's BD, HH, and SD once in DP4.61 w/ no outboard pre's?
(not to be rude) Just to restate for clarification's sake (for the in a hurry reader):
How do I process the sp-12 with DP only?
Yes I will use my ears and put hard work into the advice given, please lay it out to me like i'm an absolute clueless noob.
Thanks Unicorn People!
