RoundBadge · 22nd May 2008

Sorry for OT.just my 2 c's.
I kinda bailed on the summing tests a couple years ago.
Coming from a console background to full ITB and back agian..
Had the Phoenix,API,Shadow Hills,Neve,Chandler,Aurora,SPL,Fulcrum,etc all here at one point or another.did a LOT of A/B'ing.
My conclusion:
Summing sonically helps but is a small part of the equation.
I'm back full time on a consoles again[API/Tonelux/Neve]
the combo of input channels,discrete class A paths throughout,busses,fx send/returns,outboard,etc,ergonomics,vibe really add up to something more than the sum[

pun] of its parts.

If I can help it,i will never mix ITB again,I'm having way to much fun

Sorry again for the OT and enjoy the A/B's..
