Right now Overbridge is only working on studio use and for that i have better AD/DA conversion.
But this discussion is about happy or not and i just give my opinion about Overbridge in my studio. So just compare with your own audio interface if it sound better. If not or no big difference go for Overbridge.
For live sets and jam sessions a Overbridge hardware mixer would be very interesting in my case Maybe i am going for a Keith McMillen K-Mix when thereās no news from Elektron on Namm 2017 or SuperBooth 17.
Still Iād much appreciate if you could ever make a simple A/B test of overbridge against your converter. Iām very curious to know more about the qualitative differences. Actually, Iām going to test this also with my Apollo twin.
Maybe later because i use a lot of different converters. There is a SSC Capybara 320, Akai S1100, Lexicon 960L, Apogee Symphony I/O and Sound Devices USBPre 2.
I want to love overbridge, but for me it just crashes all the time. Blue screen of death, reboot, everything gone. Iāve tried clean installing, different USB ports, I bought a new usb card and tried that. Nothing works.
If I run just the overbridge plugin on an empty ableton project, itās fine, but as soon as thereās a couple of other plugins runningā¦bang. Crash.
Itās really dispiriting, because itās such a cool thing and I really want to love it, but I canāt.
Oh yes, I would definitely jump on it too. A mixer/controller facilitating midi automations, program changes AND visual gain staging feedback for full OTB dark trinity song-making would be amazing. I like OB but IMO they should have focused on that first.
Iām happy now that I have it set up fully with no latency with my other hardware. Iām now looking forward to Bitwig 2.0 where I can modulate the **** out of my A4 & RYTM.
Iām happy with the visualizations provided in OB and how much more enjoyable and faster it is for me to adjust samples on the AR with the waveform visualization. I find that itās much more straightforward to keep track of performance/scene settings too.
I am quite happy with OB although i never use it for the USB recording facilities even though i appreciate the functionality if Iām ever without my interface/converters.
