OK, I know this kind of thing has come up here before, but I couldn't track it down, so here goes...........
I track onto a Fostex D160 16/44.1 H/disk recorder, and will be mixing direct to a dedicated audio computer (when I finish building it) to burn CDs.
I have the opportunity to buy an Otari MX-55 1/4" 2 track reel to reel..........cheap!!!
Would there be any audible change in the sound if I first mix down to the Otari, before transferring to the PC for burning to CD. The other option that occured to me was to track vocals to the Otari then transfer them to the digital domain.
Comments please.................
