Every single damn test the majority of the experienced engineers here get wrong. Thats not by mistake. They all even have reasons why they pick which one they pick and they still get it wrong.
Now if experienced engineers here cant do it. dont expect consumers to, especially after project goes thru mastering process. If its coming off of the FM radio forget about it. |
Hi,
I usualy don't post in that analog/digital ITB/OTB debates, as I have more important things to work on in my room than debating these pretty senseless discussions.
I think you are right when you arguing about the summing. There is a difference when you listen to ITB vs Analog summing, when it comes down to only summing. These difference might be forgettable for the DIY kids or the audience.
When I talk about OTB mixing, I mean mxing from Tape, mixing on a console (in my case SSL) working the console, using the eqs, using the onboard dynamics, working the summing, finding the sweet spot, using tons of the best outboard and mixing to 1/2" or high res digital.
That indeed makes a world difference to working in the Box.
Just my experience working with the best gear every day, AND working with artist/producers.
But as always I could be wrong,.... so...
