I read a very informative article, not long ago, by a guy who specializes in digital mastering, and he recommended that one should record, first, to digital, then send the digital mix to an analog recorder, and finally, send the final mix down from the analog deck to the computer for burning to a CD. He says this reduces the possibility of clipping during the final mix to CD, but without any compromising on volume, while giving the mix a warmer analog tone.
I haven't tried it, yet, but I'm thinking of recording and mixing my compositions on my Ensoniq ASR-10 first, then recording them to analog cassette on my Tascam Porta 03. Then I'll send the Tascam's analog output to my computer's sound card and burn to CD. I record everything in digital audio, rather than as MIDI files. That way, I keep the ASR-10's original sounds. So far, I've recorded straight to disk from the ASR-10 and haven't tried this
D-A-D process, yet. Anyone else doing this? If so, what kind of results have you had?
