Anybody here compared the Dangerous 2 Bus to analog mixer summing?

Let's say I record 16 tracks into the pc, and since my soundcard only allows 8 out, I decide to send 2 tracks to each out into an analog mixer. Am I still digitally "mixing" and thus not enjoying the benefits of a full analog mix?

my $0.02:
i prefer using the pc (Sonar 2.2XL) as a place to store the tracks and route everything back out through my mackie 24x8 (and my outboard gear) for signal processing.
the beauty though, is that this setup allows me to choose to mix on the board or if I choose to mix (with the benenfit of automation) in Sonar.
I think this kind of setup is very versatile and is good for people want the flexibility to use either medium for mixes.

foreverain4 said:i agree! i just switched to doing all my tracking and mixing with an analog board. i only use the computer to edit. the reason i switched was because i just could not get my mixes to sound phat like they should. once i switched, i could not beleive the difference! WOW! i think it is the same with the electronic drum issue, are electronic drums sounding better? or are we just getting used to the sounds? is digital mixing sounding better? or are we just getting used to thin, lifeless mixes?
