I now have two 1/4inch 8 track reel to reel recorders and a really nice Mac tower with a 24 track MOTU interface. I've been considering setting up a chain where I record to the tape and monitor that into the digital interface. Does anyone else do that? Does that seem reasonable or am I going to be losing a lot in the conversion. The AD converters in the MOTU are pretty solid but I need to do a lot of post mixing/processing that is just ten times faster on the computer vs using my rack stuff and the board inserts on the 388/454. I am just now getting back into analog stuff because I am sick to death of the recordings I am getting from the digital setup I have. My digital studio is full of some really nice gear but I've tried all of the tape saturation plugin and none of them sound real. So, I'm going back but I'd like to do something that was a hybrid of both. Anyone have a similar setup to this and gotten good results? I'd love to hear about it.
