Ah OK ok well either way made record sound good
Thanks! It works, but it takes more work. It's easier (for me) to just send the signal I want recorded rather than mucking about with it after the fact.
Then why yaw go the extra mileage
In this case? We did it this way largely to experience it, to show the missus the difference, and to learn new things.
If we did it the same way every time, we're not learning anything new. We both learned more about things like plugins, like VST. She got to work on her mixing skills, which is where she spends a bunch of her time. She's actually faster at it than I am, and far more fluent in a DAW other than Audacity.
Given my druthers, I'd just pipe in what I wanted using Audacity and do so a channel at a time, making sure I didn't make mistakes. To me, that's easiest. It's habit, really.
