I read something at gearslutz that make me think but didnt understand 100%

Im into analog summing, my setup is Orion32 as converters, 2Bus+ and Pure2 for capturing the whole mix.

I recently read this thread this guy is explaining how he uses his daw as a console and his analog mixer for summing:

Hey guys,

my friend has an 8x8 soundcard (8 ins / 8 outs) Apogeesymphony.

I plan to buy a NEV-8816 summing mixer.

The summing mixer has more 8 more inputs than the soundcard.

Is it possible to use all 16 channels when doing analog processing even if my friends sound card only has 8 inputs ins/outs?

Hey all,

After tons of planning and meetings I've got my new setup pretty well defined both for the immediate and long term.

Are you interested in hybrid audio. Here is a look into what hybrid mixing, summing and mastering is all about:

This is my most recent hybrid build with some added videos from a few guys explaining the process a bit more.

Hi everybody..i m about to try OTB summing as i ve been reading all the post here for months..finally i ll try to give a shot but in a different ways..for a start i ve minimal cheapo equipments but some vintage unused at the corner with dust..logic pro submix no plugin ch strips except cla la2a..L1 limiter...

What do you think of the changes between ITB and OTB, and the demonstration?

Do you think this is a the best way to allow us to hear an A/B ?

pluses and minuses?

i pretty much get what's good about itb, . but what are the drawbacks of passive summing networks ... ? why is passive summing not a good thing?

There's obviously a lot to talk about I don't have one currently I've used the inward connections and what I found was the same mix had more dimension and what seemed to be fatter tracks

Is it the box itself ?

Is it the fact that there all summed together ?
