BLUE BEAR..thanks for the reply. I realize that an all in one machine has to have compromises. I also realize that they are geared toward the "wannabee" home recording person like I am and not the professional studios. I agree with you that the person sitting behind the machine is probably more important than the machine itself. I believe that amateurs quite often try too hard and over EQ, over reverb, over compress, over everything. I'm of the belief that if you have talented people performing and everything is properly recorded, then usually less is more as far as adding things go. I recorded my daughter recently and everyone who heard it thought it came from a professional studio. Thats because she has talent and I don't kill her natural talent by beating it to death by too much mixing.

What thinkest thou of the aforementioned???
 
This is a totally newbie question, but I was reading somewhere that dither is used a lot of times to get a more analog sound out of digital? I've seen the dither setting in N-track, but haven't used it.

By the way, it's me, gospel. I had to change everything at home and it would not let me keep on using the same name? Changed ISPs and email (same email addy but at different place??) so maybe that was it. When I changed I couldn't remember my password and when I tried to get them to email it, it didn't recognize my new email so I'm now kdgospel at home, and (I think?) still gospel at work.
 
In simple terms, Dither is applied to help minimize distortion due to quantization noise that occurs as part of the conversion process... in practical terms it tends to allow signals near the noise floor to more closely approximate the noise floor signals in analog systems.

It really has no consequence to making a digital recording "warmer"...
