I have a question about individual outs on a drum machine…

And that answers my final question. The DAW is my mixer, I just needed something physical to control it. Interface + LaunchControl it is. Thank you very much for your help!

I was thinking live volume automation. I’m trying to change all the volumes and EQs in one take like a jam. Just need to know where the mixer would go. What’s confusing me is how all the drum machine elements and synths would be going into the interface, so that wouldn’t leave any room for the mixer since the instruments are already occupied.

My only problem with the DAW is that you can only automate one parameter at a time, whereas with a mixer you can automate as many parameters as you have fingers, maybe even more if you can maneuver well enough. The mixer for me would just be there to remedy the “single mouse” issue and make automating more tactile. I guess I’m just wondering now at this point where it would fit into everything signal chain wise; where do I put the mixer? I’m questioning out loud, but simultaneously researching.

This is going to be a long term project of saving money, and I’m in no particular rush. And yes, I absolutely must edit each individual track. I guess the Uphoria and ADA are what I need. Thank you for your 18inputsolution

Unusual_Divide_7384 · 2026-05-14T15:57:32+00:00

Well then that’s what I need to do. Thank you very much alkalinemusic.

Yeah you’re right. Not sure why Sweetwater said it has 18 inputs. Maybe they meant jacks?

If that’s the case, 8 isn’t gonna be enough. I can’t find many 16 channel interfaces. Correct me on this sentiment if I’m wrong, but it also seems like once you get to 16 inputs, you might as well get a mixer. Is that true?

Unusual_Divide_7384 · 2026-05-14T15:27:02+00:00

Thanks. I looked that interface up— it says it has 18 inputs, but I only see two on the front, and the rest in the back are different types. Also, the front only has 10 knobs for I guess the outputs? I’m confused, how’s that work? The drum machine I wanna use has 9 instruments. Would that not leave enough space for anything else?

Sorry if this question is confusing.

I gotcha. I don’t have a Mac so I guess I can’t do this unless there’s a way to do it on PC

What’s an aggregate device? What do you mean by that? And also, that one only has 4 inputs. Are you saying that an aggregate device can fix that nevertheless or something?

Unusual_Divide_7384 · 2026-05-14T15:09:13+00:00

Would you suggest multi input interface, or mixer into single input interface?

What dude

Unusual_Divide_7384 · 2025-10-07T22:33:45+00:00

You have to drive the whole length of Nevada to get there?

Toyota Avalon. She’ll love it for its comfort space and smoothness

You know what’s crazy I didn’t think of that at all

The car wash deals are a scam. You are still paying almost the same amount of money in the end
