Yeah, what it will sound like, that's the question that I'm asking myself. I still remember the first time I did a session on Oxford, I was absolutely amazed by the sound of the desk itself, even without any EQ or dynamics... it was the sound of a clean signal path, loads of headroom. And it just got better with Oxford's EQ and dynamics. I was able to choose among some really great outboard, like 1176s, GMLs and Pultecs, but Oxford's processing was really convincing so I ended up using console's resources. Listening to that sound on Kinoshita's monitors in a Tom Hidley designed room... a real pleasure!
So this is my doubt: How can it sound "Oxford - like" on a system that has a completely different architecture? Sony is 32-bit floating (if I remember well) and PT is 24-bit wide. I wonder if they'll provide a comparative A/B listening test for AES presentation...
