Which do you folks prefer? I just learned about this alternative to bounce to disk recently. Which one sound better?

Hi folks,

So, what formats are youze guys mixing down to nowadays?

And, in your situation, just who is deciding which formats are to be used? The engineer, the label, the producer, the artist?

Anybody mixing in 5.1?

Do you generally send all your drum tracks to a 2-bus and compress them all together when tracking?

Anybody experiencing this? Had 24 tracks going with a channel strip inserted on each track. 3 Realverb Pros running as sends, 1 LA-2A as insert on a group channel, 1 1176LN insert on the bass track. On mixdown, distortion is heard on the bass track alone. Tried mixdown without the 1176LN insert on the bass track... no distortion! Anybody experiencing this?

Are there any headphones that you can use for mixdown purposes to get an accurate mix? I was looking at the ADG K270S but don't want to spend $240 if you can't use them to mix down.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help. .I usually record live instruments, guitar and bass etc. . but decided to try my hand at electronic music, all software synths and drum machines etc..
But I came to a problem, I need help with the compression af the tracks,

Hi everybody,

If, while tracking, you dither down to 16 bit from an external converter to an MDM, or any digital multi for that matter, what are the cumulative affects of the dither at mixdown? Particularly UV22-HR.

Thanks,

What are some of the reasons to bus on mixdown? I am not talking about tracking. It seems to be a big pain in the arse for me for a couple of reasons and I cant see any advantage, so I need some big pros who have worked on big 16 or 24 bus consoles to explain in to me.

The gear forum has vanished, so I'll try again here. Looking into purchasing a good solid analog mixdown deck in the (relatively) near future. An ATR would be beyond my means or my needs, I believe, and I've already been told solid machines can be found for under $1000, maintenance and setup included. 1/4" 15 ips is fine by me, which makes the pickings pretty easy.
