I have a valued client that is mandating I use mp3s to "remaster" CDs for replication. Those new production CDs are then converted back to mp3s for posting on their website. I need more info to convince them this is a BAD idea. Suggestions? Links to professional data on the web? Personal experience? Thanks!

Is Analog mixing and processing superior to Digital mixing and processing?

Yep, I know this has been discussed too many times already but I'm looking for some real answers and some real proof.



Does anyone have any proof that the end mix result when using a high quality analog console,

all outboard analog gear for processing, really sound better than mixing all in the box with plugins?

I know most consider the 57 industry standard, and a good go-to mic, but put popularity and all that aside. I want to know what you think of each of them and more importantly WHY.



Thanks!



EDIT: industry standard and go-to mic for Micing guitar amps and snare drums. Just so I don't get flamed for making a blanket statement. :p

i just got a teac model 5 in from ups. mixer is in great cosmetic condition. the only thing is that when i flick the power switch, the vus and lights flash for a second and then go dead.

it is not connected to anything as of right now. it is just plugged in to the wall socket.

does this thing need to be grounded to something before it stays on?
