Customer Spotlight: The OctEpus
“I’m doing a full live, no sequencers, one man band project, where I play 3 instruments simultaneously. Having physical knobs and faders for volume, EQs, comps, preamps and SILK lets me slowly dial in the mood of my mix as I practice. By the time I master playing all the parts simultaneously, the mix is mostly done.”

“The first day I had the console up and running I slapped a raw drum kit into the desk and with a little tweaking and some compression I had a very nice sounding kit. That same amount of work would have taken a few hours to get in the DAW.”
