Hi everyone, noob user here. Very excited about the cool sounds my Snow is obviously capable of, but as I'm a longtime hardware guy who is having issues even with the basic first steps of integrating it with my Mac Mini, I thought I'd run my situation past you.
I suspect from the Bootcamp videos that to edit sounds effectively I'll need a computer interface at least some of the time. Generally I want to be as computer-free as possible; I have no interest in sequencing my Snow with a DAW, as my Octatrack seems perfectly capable of that. However it appears I may be missing out on a lot of potential if I don't at least get familiar with TI.
On the other hand, I've had a few issues from the outset ... in addition to having difficulty finding and following the manual generally, while trying to adjust GarageBand to accommodate my Snow, I somehow managed to change the settings on my soundcard so it couldn't hear outside inputs. Troubleshooting stole of all my music time this past weekend. I don't mean to rant, I'll be patient I'd just very much prefer to use the computer to explore patch creation/editing and then use the Virus as standalone hardware.
So assuming I don't find the answer in this forum's archives:
What's the simplest way to get into deep editing on the Snow, but minimizing the need to learn new software / get a DAW?
Thanks!
