Thread: Do most PT users mix in PT or use a console?

Hi Pete,

I've heard some people say the mix summing bus in PT is not great.Is there some truth to this or is it just opinion.

Both and neither! There is absolutely nothing wrong with the summing buss in PT and it certainly stacks up well against most other digital summing busses. Of course some people have opinions on digital summing busses and given the choice I would probably go for the summing buss in a Neve VR series desk! There are issues with sound quality in PT|Mix; conversion, filtering, clocking, etc. But nothing in the real world to worry about with the summing buss.

late on this one ......i summ in PT
many people HATE the sum bus in PT
i like it just fine .......DITHERED MIXER,
48 bit plugs.

I've heard people say PTHD does a bit better than the 24Mix, mixer....uhhh that sounded funny.

Hi Danny,

They've twicked the mix buss in PT|HD a little but nothing that should make much of a difference. However, the quality of mixes in PT|HD should sound much better than with a Mix system because the plugs are improved at 96kS/s and of course for most people the A/D and D/A conversion should be much improved.

I would echo MixKid and advise the use of the dithered mixer plug.

WHat's the "Dithered mixer" how do implement it?
