Oh no he didnt!!!

And still upon 3 years of reflection, analog vs digital dont mean JACK compared to the ability to get a song across
Most pinhead momfininaced emoweenie bands wouldnt be able to get the point of their song across without digital editing
SEVERE digital editing
So even if the most pristine, wonderful, Steve Albini approved analog gear was used front to back, dollars to doughnuts one would sound like a bunch of murky muddy crap, all out of time and out of tune, and one would (after a shitload of time) sound somewhat like a song ( or a turd spraypainted gold)
TexRoadkill said:You are still digitally mixing. I believe it was Sjoko who said that most DAWs seem to handle sub mixing of up to 6 tracks pretty well but when you go beyond that is when the errors start to pile on. If you are submixing in groups of less than 6 you should theoretically be okay.
Bob's Mods said:One trick I have started doing is band passing each track. Many already high pass each track from 40 Hz to 100 Hz but....low passing the extreme high end is useful too...because even if there is no audio at lets say 18 kHz, whatever is there is added to the digital summing result mucking it up. The harshness on the high side can be reduced by pushing the high side empty air down. Chop out (band pass) where ever there no audio info on the low side and the high side for an improved ITB mixing experience.

That's interesting. I'll have to try that test. Most of the things we hang on the aux sends would not be particularly time sensitive, but it could well pop up on some parallel path needs. -Perhaps the timing error is corrected (as it should and as claimed) when a plug in included? (We'll soon enough see.Bob's Mods said:...Another point too, I have eliminated the Aux buss. It causes phase distortions. Test this by enabling an Aux buss with no plug in loaded than gradually max out the track send. It should sound the same but only louder but it does not. The output of the track is being summed with the output of the Aux. There seems to be a delay going through the Aux buss and when the two sum, it causes a funny phasely sound. Bob
