Just wondering what most of you are using to mix down to Tape, Digital outboard deck , back into same daw to 2Tracks then just export? Tell me what your doing Mine summing out to hardware back to two tracks into daw I output from the DAW through my SSL alphalink to my mixer and outboard, then back from the mixer master bus into my converter box, back into a second sound card into a secondary program (soundforge) as the pseudo-mixdown deck. |

Summing out through an old 70's Neve board (frightening difference between the itb stems),
tweak to taste and then mix down to both a Studer 1/4" and Apogee AD16X and smile..

I'm going out to a Dbox, then back in through the Svart box. Sometimes I'll put two VP28s in between. Then adding mastering and repeating the process. Then exporting without using the DAW.

Two step process :
Through the board to an Otari MTR12, half-inch two track. Then from the Otari through the UA2192 digitally into a Tascam DVR1000

Soon! I will be adding the two Stam 4k's... My mixdown will be through 2 Stam 4k's (one for drum bus)(one for mix bus) 2 EQP-WA's, EQ-2NV, several JR73eq's, RN5043. Or I may just stay in the box and use inserts when needed (actually most of the time)

Out of the DAW through a Sound Workshop Series 30 (upgraded mix buss) into a Lynx Hilo.
Neotek Elite is still being prepped to replace the Sound Workshop.
SW is only used for monitoring during tracking.
We don't use the pre's or the EQ's.
Also looking for a MCI JH110 2-Track for analog mixdowns and for use as a tape delay.

A question not to derail this thread.... I have Apogee 16x AD DA.... They are fine for tracking... I even like the color for tracking... but how much would I gain getting a dedicated 2 channel box for this ? I'm not sure much gains are made here except for headroom.

DAW out to my desktop as a WAV file and an mp3. Save to both iTunes and a copy on my Glyph hard drive just in case.
I wish I had a summing mixer to run through.

Then from the Otari through the UA2192 digitally into a Tascam DVR1000 Hi Keymod, What difference are you hearing by using the UA as the clock for the Tascam when printing ? I have a DVR 1000 - i love the DA, but the AD to me loses some sub range.. |

It does sound wonderful but yes, takes a lot of time. I tried it a couple of times in my old situation and vowed I would use it when I get the new place up and running, at least for any of my own stuff or things that aren't on a budget. |

I have a DVR 1000 - i love the DA, but the AD to me loses some sub range.. I have only ever used the clock in my Radar24 as the master, with the 2192 as a distribution clock. Works well that way, and I haven't felt anything is lacking. |

Printing via stereo Audio Track in PT, have used da to ad loops from UAD Apollo converters as well to see the added benefit. Once, I receive my Stam Audio SA4000, I will add that to the print for mix down  |

I have a Smart C2 and a Gml 8200 on my mix bus. I have a pair of Vintech X73i I could use as line amps , but have not done that. All is done as external FX . So I bounce without any analog summing or any other converter other than my 32 channels of Aurora 16's which are synced together.

I capture my outboard mixes through a Svartbox back into Pro Tools. If I need a limiter, I'll then add it and bounce.

I'm printing the record I'm on to an Ampex 440B. Hybrid mix with plugs, 1608 and 4 passive summing mixers.
It's a giant, complicated nightmare and I hate every distorted, wooly mix I did last week.
Help...I'm in THAT phase of the record. I hate myself for ruining this poor artists dreams.
Wrong thread?
I'll call my therapist.
Anyway...ATR on the 440B captured through the JCF Latte.

Either direct bounce to hard drive (most common), or out through a Presonus DP88 and UA Apollo and/or Steinberg UR824 into my custom DIY analog summing mixer "Nigel" to a pair of CAPI preamps that use Cinemag input transformers. It takes a little extra time, but sounds a little extra cool. I'd like to try printing to my Tascam UH-7000 with the analog summing, but I haven't yet.
Once in a blue moon I'll mix on my Mackies through a line pad into the custom CAPI and that sounds cool and phat too. I just don't like mixing on the Mackies because I don't like the EQ. So usually my processors are ITB stuff.
It's great to have all these options. If I had a more extensive patch bay setup, I'd probably try more different combinations of things.

I even like the color for tracking... but how much would I gain getting a dedicated 2 channel box for this ? I'm not sure much gains are made here except for headroom. I know two pro studios that used the ad16s for adda for years. I liked them enough that i think i will be gradually making the move to them in the not so distant future. Currently I run my mixdown as hd192s out into patchbay into console back to patchbay back into hd192s. Two G-ssl's with turbo (one with SSS) sit on the master bus and drumbus which both can always be switched or taken off since my master bus inserts (actually all console inserts) are patched. The drum bus are channels 1 and 2 on the console which like every channel on the console has the inserts patched which makes it flexible as I can really put anything anywhere. Occasionally i'll use the D-LA2A on the master bus. Both g-ssl's are on the lightest settings i.e. high threshold, 2:1, fast/auto attack/release. I plan on getting a dedicated stereo ad converter in the very near future. |

100% ITB.
I create a 24bit 48k wav file of my mix set to peak at about -3db and then do a separate "pseudo-mastering" session using mostly UAD plugins to bring it up to -0.7db (as per comments from the great Andrew Scheps)
I like having the two phases(mixing and mastering) cos it allows me to mix without worrying about pushing volume, rather I focus on feel and dynamics. I *do* end up squishing the dynamics a bit at "mastering" time but I think it's easier to decide how much when the mix is already done.

All analog console and outboard here, all the plug-ins have real plugs on them. The 30 mhz bandwidth, 2000v/us slew rate current feedback sum circuits feed a pair of Kimber AGSS pure silver interconnects to a highly modified Burrbrown PCM/DSD4222 EVM with Analog Devices ADA 4989-2 opamps set to clip at +20 dbu.
The S/PDIF outputs are feed through a pure silver Kimber AGSS/Canare RCA S/PDIF cable to the PC sound card for CD prep. I use no buss EQ, no buss compression, that is saved for mastering.
