I've been reading a lot of great things about analog summing boxes on the back end of Pro Tools rigs. I'm wandering if anybody out there has any advice about which one to buy. I know of the AMS Neve 8816 summing mixer and the Dangerous 2-bus. If anybody out there has experience with these boxes or any other summing boxes, I would love to hear from you.

Thanks,
Benny

Hello,

I'm thinking about taking my 24 track session ITB and printing my plugins, but leaving each of the 24 tracks separate, as well as leaving out panning info. Then sum the 24 tracks on an analog board (like a Euphonix CS3000 or a Neve)

So how many of you mixing inside the computer use an analog summing device? Opinions on these vary a lot really. I work with Logic and I'm not to sure about the summing qualities, especially with a lot of tracks. Also I hear people say Cubase/Nuendo sounds better in that department...

Is there a way to get a 8 channel mic preamp and an 8 channel analog summing box in one product? i thought about trying to use a tla audio tube tracker for this would that work?

I have a digital 8bus mackie. I hate the way it sounds. I know the Yamaha dm200 has great features but how does it sound. The Mackie does not have clarity imaging or punch. lifeless another words.
I am trying to choose between going for a better digital console or going out of my computer into a Dangerous 2-bus.
