Hello Riccardo,

I so far used to play from Nuendo via my Fireface 800 SPDIF out,
and record it in real-time directly into Soundforge via my Delta 66 SPDIF in.

Than save the file as 44/16 wav.

I don't like the results at all as the sound as recorded in Soundforge is very much degraded compared to what I hear when I play the project in Nuendo ,
while my all intention is getting the sound as close to what I hear when I play the track inside Nuendo , on the final master. This is why I don't want to export from Nuendo
in the first place.

The mastering plugins on that particular track are used inside the Nuendo session
(I know that concept is basically wrong but too late to change on that particular mix as the "sweet spot" will get lost).

I bought a Revox PR99 which is still under refurbishment, should get it soon. I've been recommended to use RGMI 911 tape rather then 900 for mastering (what do you think ?)

My plan is to play directly from Nuendo to the Revox. But what's the best way to go on from there ? Should I still use the mastering pluings in Nuendo,
and only record from the Revox directly to the CD burner, so I don't loose quality ?

The result of dumping to Soundforge/Audition/Wavelab at 44/16 and then saving, just sucks. I don't want to loose quality at the process of getting the Nuendo project summed to the final CD.

My listening setup includes AKG271 headphones (which I use most of the time for monitoring, yet getting great mixes), Tannoy Reveal and a Samson Servo 260 amp.

Thanks for your advice !
