In this strict sense, no. If I track a snare track through it or just played a digitally recorded snare track, to the anamod it's just the same (minus the difference the digital signal might have).
But I don't think that is what you meant.
Individual built up tracks vs. just a stereo buss, yes big difference. Just like a tape machine, multitracked project (2") vs. digital multitrack mixed down to a 2 trk tape.
On the program/stereo stuff you can hit the anamod, and hear a nice tape compression/saturation (with that 351 card!), but it might be missing or not affecting the non-transient stuff as much, like Vox, strummed gtr, etc. But if it do it individually, snr, kick, OH (or just drum buss), gtr, vox, etc.,..you can really drive each instrument or buss the way you want, like 2". Then you can still hit it on the stereo buss for the final touch. That is the best/ideal....but tough with only 2ch.
So in a sense, it's like having a 2trk tape machine. You can either bounce/track everything through it or just wait to the end for mix down and use it on just the drum buss (the biggest difference of course) or the stereo buss. I prefer to have everything through it, so I've been bouncing tutt.
Bottom line is we need 16 channels @ $6k (8 ch units @ $3k
). Just like a tape machine. Can probably be done with surface mount components
