Texas.
The thing that irks me about autoBush haters is that all they do is bitch.
They never take into consideration the circumstances he inherited when he
came into office and they never propose any proactive solutions. I

It's really nice to be able to just open up a UAD-1 plugin or insert an
external processor on a track and it is automatically compensated. That's
very cool. Also cool is being able to bus groups to compressors.
The thing is, I'm doing mostly acoustic/bluegrass projects and the overall
clarity of the mix is a *huge* deal here. Processing always reduces that, no
matter what. Even without using processing in SX, there is processing going
on in the lightpipe transfer and the more I work this way, the more I'm
noticing a cumulative hit. It might work fine for pop music...........not as
well for this.
