If you go to digido.com there's an article called 'back to analog'.
Near the end of the article, if you want the analog sound, I think he's saying that you should have at least ONE digital toy - either to mix with (say a Mackie dB8) or mix-down with (Mackie or Tascam 24/96 ADAT).
I think he also suggests that TOO MUCH analog machines might kill the warm and rich sound the average analog freak is looking for.
This is where I'm a little confused.
Either my reading comp skills aren't up to snuff (they weren't in high school, actually) or the last paragraphs of the article have a few words missing.
Blue Bear, I think you told me that a 2" analog mutitrack is the key to getting that great sound - to get to the source in a way. That's what I'd love to do!
But I'm not sure whether to mix down WITH an analog console (...had my sights on the Mackie 24*8's) or a digital one
OR to mix down TO a 1/2" 2-track analog or a 24/96 2-track.
...and will a a/d converter be necessary if I use a 2" analog recorder?
I just need advice for the right combination in getting a KILLER analog sound. Yer help will be appreciated!
