Hey all, I'm a new owner of a Zed-R16 and one of the really cool features the mixer has is of course the analog mixdown option where you can send the tracks back from the DAW to the mixer and mix the tracks like one would on a traditional analog mixer. But what I'm having hard time understanding is how its actually done or more importantly how is the mixed signals then recorded?

I would like to know how I would take an analog recording of an instrument that has been recorded into Pro Tools and change the sound using Reason.

Hello,
I have a home studio where I record our rock group onto 8-track 1/2" tape. We intend to have a vinyl single pressed of some of our songs. It seems that most mastering companies will want AIFF files to start with. So my question is how to produce the best AIFF from my analog mix.

What does analog mean? In audio, how do you explain analog or analog?

I have to confess that I often have difficulty telling whether my compressor plugins are actually functioning. I do not hear them the same way as I hear an outboard compressor in a guitar rig. Is this typical? Are plugin compressors more subtle? Does anyone else have difficulty hearing their plugin compressors at times?

The SPL Passeq Analog Code has just been announced.
I have used the SPL Passeq hardware (the real thing) and it's amazing but expensive ($5300.00) There is a plugin version for USD 199.

Any fortunate users out there that have this now, please let us know how you like it.

Cheers!

I use a FF800 as the "brain" of my system.
I use two Digimax LTs as the ADAT 1 and 2 into the FF,
Unfortunately, these units only have inserts, and no true analog outputs.

I currently have:
9 actual outputs (8 analog and 9/10), and the way TotalMix is setup, they are mixed as stereo pairs, leaving 5 discrete outputs (minus some clever panning, when possible).

My sound card is an RME 9652 which has ADAT outs.

For years I've used a Frontier Designs Tango 24 for the D/A portion (to get to the studio control mixer) but the Tango24 now seems to be flaking out.

An "analog" (analog) is a close but not perfectly accurate copy of (in this case) a signal or sound. For instance, a signal recorded on tape is an analog of the original sound, and although it may be a nearly perfect duplicate, it will not have exactly the same characteristics as the original.

Im new here so i hope this thread hasn't already started somewhere else
but i know there uis a huge debate about Digital vs Analog desks
