Digital patchbays

 I need a digital patchbayfor a few reasons, obviously. Here is the situation. I want to put an A/D D/A in front of an Avalon VT747SP and rout it's signal through the digital patchbay with other digital devices. I could run my complete mix as well as some individual parts through my GoldChannel, for some of it's "finalizer" characteristics, the HEDD (when I get one) and the 747.

Analog compression before digital? Driving you mad?

Analog compression before digital? I do it, because I am not totally knocked out with plugin compression so far. and I am pretty much doing what I used to do while recording to 2" tape..

I dont do it for "tape sound" (*see below)

Or to serve max level to my converters (*see below)

I do it to compress!

What do you DAW guys do?

Questions about MS mixing technique

Hi,

Has anyone here experimented with MS mixing? I'm talking about taking
a stereo verion of your mix, making a mono file and then inverting it and
mixing it back in with your stereo mix, but with the mono file 6db higher so
it cancels out the mono info. Then taking another copy of your stereo mix
and mixing this back in.
