Hmm… I’m releasing what I feel is one of my better tracks tonight (maybe I’m not that good to begin with) using only the Deluge and Novation Summit… I received my Deluge a few weeks ago but it’s an instrument for life; after the first few days I completely understood why it’s gained a cult following.
My lack of need for a battery, desire for more outputs, want of a screen… all squandered once the instrument was in my hands; the portability became a boon, the mixing easily done within the unit, the shortcuts became second nature… What an at-the-time small company has provided and pioneered for the price relative to the competition is bewildering. I love it.
This thing is beautiful, but way too costly for me. Sad.
Its WELL worth it though – the capabilities are massive, and more is being added with frequent updates – the price is not for a finished box, but for a lifetime software license to a box that is continuously growing and evolving along with you.
Its beautiful indeed 🙂
