| a digital mixer is not for everyone. And its also far from just a control surface.
Why do people still use analog boards when DAW's cover it all also?
People just like hands on mixing. It also free's up DSP, there is a compressor, gate and EQ on every channel of an 02R. It allows for extensive routing, both internally and externally with outboard gear. It can be used live! Most have touch sensitive Automation. Total Recall even when you mix outside the box. extensive I/O, lotsa preamps.
It sounds different! Just because a DAW is Digital and a Digital mixer is... well... Digital, doesnt mean they sound the same.
What i dont understand is people buying expensive digital boards and just using them as dedicated control surfaces.
Use them like an Analog desk with a lot of extra features. That is, Leave the Daw for editting and the Desk for mixing. |
