A new summing experiment.

Can I:

DA > pre-amp (Millennia M-2b yummy) AD mixdown to my capture DAW. (Prism Atlas line in).
Can I cook anything trying this?

After a LOT of digging, head scratching and cussin', I think I'm close to picking the ultimate in analog summing boxes.

I'm looking at a 42 channel Neve for my studio,price is very reasonable for a Neve.I realize this console is designed for broadcast.Having no automation means it's crippled in a mixdown situation,but is there a possibility of adding Necam,or Flying faders?Hows the mix bus?How do the pres and EQs sound compared to other used boards in the 10-15 grand range.would I be better off buying a new Alle

I have three related questions for you.
I was uncertain whether ask for your help or not and eventually decided for this second option, I hope you'll help me focus on relevant facts.

Brain wave just started and I haven't even thought through it much so here's to thinking out loud:

The PB8 series are 8×2 Passive summing Mixers utilizing the highest quality components in a cost effective package. Used in conjunction with a quality mic preamp, the unit will yield warm and open mixes.

I'm very happy with what I have going but over the weekend I was searching around for ideas on how users might utilize the Direct Outs of a MixDream to further expand its abilities.

Hello everyone. I'm ready to start expanding beyond "in the box" (ITB) methods to "outside the box" (OTB) methods.
