Hello, I wanted to ask you guys what you thought of this

We are currently recording my album through a Amek 9098 mic pre, directly to Mackie MDR HD recorders. (2 of these) Then my engineer transfers these through ADAT optical into protools (001). He does all the editing in the box. And then sends the edited tracks back to the MDR recorders. This is how we are managing the shortage of tracks in the 001. (this is the tracking part)

Now, we will be mixing at a studio where 2" tape machines are available. Do you guys think it's a good idea, to take the MDR machines and transfer the tracks to 2" tape and mix from there ? to get the nice tape sound ?? Would you take all the tracks in protools and open up a session at the studios HD system and then transfer them to tape ??? Can you open a 001 session in a HD system ? Please let me know what you think, I really appreciate it. thanks!
