I'd love to get some links or source for links about the different methods of translating DAW tracks into the finals CD.

Thanks !
The link to look for is called "experience"

Let's address the issue step by step. You "dump" (mixdown) from Cubase via Fireface (analog board or just 2 outputs from your interface?) to the PR99.

How is your off tape monitor (repro head) sounding to you? What speakers/amps are you monitoring on?
