I like it for a “more me” tracking mode over the entire mix.
I have a Steinberg interface, and it is just beyond figgin’ amazing to me that, at 2048 buffer size, I can track voice with reverb, have Control Room inserts active … with zero latency. How do they do that?!
I haven’t quite figured out how/when to use CTRL ROOM vs. Mix1, Mix2, Mix3 in my UR28M … I think CTRL ROOM is going to be much easier for tracking than setting up whole separate mixes.
Oh, and worth 10x the price of admission … IMO the “Listen Bus” might be the best feature of the Control Room.
So, to answer the OP, yes I find it useful. I don’t remember the old one in C6.5 very well, by reading some of these posts, it looks like I should be thankful for that.
