@steveoath I’m asking because I do find it very difficult to combine a computer/recording/editing workplace with the modular one and was wondering how people do that. And BTW I find this thread more and more interesting and am realizing that it touches a series of woes and issues I have been experiencing myself over and over again with trying to find a solution for my own corner (which I haven’t found yet).
The issue I see with the computer – for how I intend things to be used at least, which is recording things and then editing/mixing these – is that you need a certain type of situation where you can sit comfortably in front of it, possibly in the sweet spot of your monitoring system (if you have it), possibly with a screen that is big enough and decent input devices (which for me is and remains the mouse). For the modular you need the space to be able to comfortably sit or stand in front of it, having the case put the way you want it (flat on the table, or upright) to be able to reach all the knobs and comfortably patch it, etc… so basically they both need a similar thing, and you are forced to give one or the other the priority. Also both have their context, as I said, for me the modular is for “playing” and the computer is for doing stuff that comes after the “playing”, they don’t necessarily have to live in the same space at the same time, but you also don’t want to move them around all the time.
