I agree that at the end of the day how you use your tools is always the most important thing. Sometimes the difference between hardware and software is truly subtle. Gearslutz is a place we come to discuss those differences past the point of relevancy.

Do you still have the hardware 2500? If so, did you run any of your own mixes through it to listen to the differences?

It would be cool to hear those mixes if you have them.
Hey Norman!

You're dead on bro! "Gearslutz is a place we come to discuss those differences past the point of relevancy"

Yep, I tested my own mixes with the hardware version (that why I rented the unit at first), I'll put them online on Monday (I'm out of town right now). My converters are MOTU 896 and my console is a Alesis X2 (24 channels).

Peace

“A lot of engineers think the mix is about the gear, but it's not — it's about your gut instinct. The gear is just there to help you. The most important thing is to make the song work for those who are going to buy it. Period. You're not the artist; it's not your song. If the artist is happy and the label is happy and people respond to the music, then you have done your job. Sitting around playing with your toys isn't going to help make the song a hit.” - CLA
