akai professional mpc live audio interface low latency

my RME converters are excellent but in class compliant mode i feel like when i start a fresh blank session in a daw. no more punch, no more dynamic, i had to spend a huge amount of time on the mix to get the sound i had before. So i start a new session & send few tracks to my RME. i know working in 44.1 is a lot of times, enough to achieve a great quality, sometimes better than 48 or 96 Khz, check fabfilter website on the subject. 44.1Khz, not sure it makes a huge difference to the sound, i'm happy with it. īut i said, let's try the class compliance mode to compare. the lows are either fatter or punchier, the highs are polished in a good way, pleasant, not harsh, shines your mix really.

mine is an MPC X :ġ : internal summing of the mpc : everything goes to the MAIN OUTĢ : the 8 outs of the X goes into my SSL6 (which has 10 ins actually) analog mixerģ : class compliance mode & its 32 outs so the sound goes into my RME Fireface UFX2ġ : INTERNAL SUMMING : the sound is punchy, pretty fat but as soon as you summ a lot of tracks, the sound starts to get muddy & you loose a lot of definitionĢ : EXTERNAL SUMMING : day & night : the 8 outs of the X allows an external summing trough any analog equipment : an SSL6 in my case : the sound quality (thanks to the SSL Eq & compressors) is astonishing really, you get the punch, the clarity, the dynamic & the neutral sound of your music, the stereo image is somehow wider.

Here's how i compare the overall sound, the summing, the dynamic etc etc. the sound quality of the class compliance : ok now, sorry guys to point out this forever ongoing subject but. i'm not sure it would make a huge difference.
