is there any more bloated industry in terms of technology than music production? how many fucking knobs do they need?
>>107784876Those knobs all do different things, or rather many do the same thing but on different channels. It's basically a single set of controls but copied and apsted over however many channels you want. They do that not because anybody likes having a shit ton of knobs and faders, but because it's the best interface we've come up with to handle things, so far. And no, a touch screen is absolutely not an improvement.
>>107784876>I know nothing about this subject but I'm an expert on this subject
>>107784876Retard. The knobs all do a specific thing. Say you have a drum track. The knobs and faders control that one track. Say you have a guitar track, a bass track, a vocal track, piano, etc. They all control the levels of that individual track for mixing, balancing, etc. Then there's a master, then there's EQ. It all adds up but they all serve a purpose
>>107785097Not related but the funniest thing about this infographic is that it's false and is falsifiable with a surface level google search
>>107784876Medical industry
a board with a fader and basic EQ (2 shelves and a bell or two) is actually pretty tame compared to how much shit you can do on a computer with plugins
>>107784876>bloatedThe fuck do you mean? Every knob has a specific purpose. I know this concept hardlocks the zoomer brain but complicated systems can be broken down and understood in terms of individual componentsholy fuckin microplastics
I do everything on the master channel. If you have to use this tool you already misunderstood music production.
>>107784876Nobody is using analog mixers anymore. You are about 10 years too late.
Doing shit ITB is completely possible, but if you're not careful, you could suffer from carpel tunnel or some other repetitive-motion injury. It's good to have a dedicated interface for specific functions, that way you don't have to use the mouse & keyboard for anything besides what they're best suited for. The only sequencer I have used that is better with a mouse/keyboard is Renoise.
>>107784876>Just dive into tons of submenus while live mixing, bro
>>107784876AV is full of the most cancerous proprietary garbage imaginable every fucking protocol, every fucking widget is vendor lock in, 'just one more license' nonsense and I fucking hate it
>>107788436Most industries do. What's your role?The meaningful protocols are mostly all already reverse engineered
>>107788573Give me an open source or even just license free sub 20ms audio over IP protocol.

>>107785019How are you supposed to remember which settings you need whenever? Clearly, they weren't snapping pics all the time in the 1980s or something.
>>107789199Sharpie on the board of course
>>107789340Sounds comfily old-fashioned actually

>>107784876Zamn, this thread is great!
>>107789199The expensive ones are motorized. Not that it really matters anymore. Only old people still use physical mixers.
>>107789199>How are you supposed to remember which settings you need whenever? it's easy if you're not a retard>>107792644>Only old people still use physical mixers.motorized faders have existed since the end of the 1970s
>>107789521>Suggested Creatorslol
>>107792644>Only old people still use physical mixers.Definitely peak Mount Stupid. In the year of our Lord 2026, physical mixers are practically everywhere that music is made.
>>107792644I always thought shit like this was cool
How many fucking buttons those shitheads need?
>>107784876>touchscreen manufacturers when they discover cars, phones, computers and appliances are all going back to physical buttons and knobs
>>107784876Depends how many channel sources you're working with.
>>107793915Ideally about 50 more.
