Anybody out there have any experience/insight with this unit? I know sonic purity/neutrality is the given - anyone use them, or HV-3(ish) preamps for tracking and/or mixing in/out of Pro Tools? Wondering if it is worth going the distance and invest, or stay mixing internally.

I have just recorded some simple vocal and acoustic guitar tracks on ADAT, and now in the process of mixdown on O2R.

Got 1 vocal track and 3 tracks of acoustic guitar (close miked 57,distant miked RODE NT and a D.I signal).

Would like to ask you pros out there suggestions on how to pan and mixdown the guitar and vocal tracks.

Hi ya all!

Given the following three choices of mixing method, with Digital Performer as the recording platform, what would you choose, and why?

(1) Mix in DP
(2) Mix on budget digital mixer (01V, Spirit 328, Tascam TDM4000)
(3) Mix on budget analog mixer (Mackie/Ghost/etc.)--this is assuming decent quality A/D-D/A (MOTU 1224 or better).

Dynaudio BM5: are they enough accurate for mixing? Thanks.

Any tips on mixing piano? The source is a Korg 01W so I don't have to worry about mic placement. I just want to avoid a muddy bottom.

I suppose this is a question for the more high-endpeople around here. We've been talking some about how Pro Tools isn't the best thing to trust your level/mixing chores with. Has anyone here stretched out on one of the top level digital mixers? Oxford, Axiom, Libra, etc.? Any opinions? Are these boards the same sonic letdowns as some of the less expensive stuff?

If I would like to perform my *mixes* inside a DAW, say I need some 32-40 inputs to mixdown, would this be possible on a pc dedicated to this task only, or am I simply asking too much given the current state of technology ?

Step 1: Mixing is an attitude.

Let's explore this for a moment. Mixing is an attitude. What attitude? What does this mean?

Harvey seems to be running out of steam here. Of course he lasted 4 tips more than I would have. A tip a day, that's a little rough. A tip a week is more like it. Anyway, I thought I'd give Harv a little hand here. Let's start with Mixerman's 10 Steps To Better Mixing.
