Today's questions:

0:11 Volume automation on the master-bus (e.g. lowering the volume before the chorus/drop) - will this cause problems for my master engineer?

2:06 Is it worth buying an analog mixer just for the sound or are just big expensive consoles going to give me that nice analog coloration and am I better off buying an interface with more inputs for my synths?

5:39 Do I need to pay attention to what preamps an interface has if my only goal is to record synthesizers without any microphones involved?
