I upgraded my recording interface a while back to a RME Fireface UC from a Focusrite Scarlette 18i20. The RME hase a very extensive software mixer included inside its driver for routing and monitoring. I have only scratched the surface of its capability. All I have done is learn enough about it to be able to record basic tracks into pro Tools. Occasionally I will have trouble adjusting the audio levels of YouTube videos and such and have no idea why sometimes things worked and sometimes they didn't.
I found some instructional tutorial videos on YouTube that go into detail about how to set up and operate this monstrosity. I am flabbergasted at how complex this software mixer is. It can do just about anything but there are so many different levels of menus and hidden functions that I am at a loss to absorb how to access everything. When using Pro Tools with the RME I need to know how to operate that mixer better so I can deal with latency problems and such.
I feel like I'm standing at the bottom of El Capitan without a rope and trying to figure out what to do to get to the top. Steep learning curves always annoy me. Pro Tools was bad enough but I've finally gotten to the point where I can get around in it without constantly accessing the Help menu. I probably don't use 20% of what its capable of but as long as I can record tracks and mix them down when I'm done, I'm happy. Hopefully it won't take me years to get to that point with this new software like it did with Pro Tools.
