Pro Tools with analog mixer and gear

Hello,

I have noticed that a lot of studios have a G5 pro tools equipement and a great analog mixer like SSL Neve or trident. Most of them are equipped with great analog preamp and comp too.

So I'm wondering how those studios use PT and analog gears?
I mean Do they first plug mics to preamp and preamp to PT, and PT to mixer? (or another path?)

Not that i'm interested in the pres on this, but are they potentially useful?

Any input would be appreciated,,

Calibrating DAW without mixer

Hi all,

I'm running a mixerless setup (straight from mic preamps to audio interface) and want to calibrate the whole system. I'm basically aiming so that I'm running the pre in it's most comfortable zone, i.e. not pushing it too hard, while aiming for peaks of -12dbfs to the converters. What is the easiest way to set this up?
