... so then it's useless for me, since i'd wanted to capture the creative fx performance while improvising, and had to leave the soundhacks, smatelectronix, etc... that i usually control with the fcb1010 in the studio. as you told me some time ago, 24 bits seems the way to go. anyhow, does make sense to put at the end of each track channel an instance of a dithering plugin while recording ableton->soundflower->logic? would this consume lots of CPU power for, let's say, 8 stereo tracks at once? 2009/5/15, Per Boysen <perboysen@gmail.com>: > Raul, > > Why aren't you combining Live and Logic with ReWire?
