Thank you so much for this. You won't believe how this changed the way I
work. I literally can't make this DP867 fall over. Now I am obsessing about
balancing the 2 meters!
Would you believe.........7 Stylus, 5 Atmosphere, 10 EXS24, 1 Trilogy, 8
DTDM tracks with 2 comps, 1 Reverb, 4 Equium, 1 Ohmboys, 2 Lexicon42,
2 Lexicon 84
32 TDM tracks with..........oh forget it. It's just too much. And would you
believe the Meters were just on one quarter. So opening Dynamo or Absynth is
still a walk in the park. Unbelievable.
Once again, thanks for this tip.
Phil Buckle.
