nothing wrong with that if he makes great music... of course I've read the whole post and know that he doesn't, but still, those berry boards are better than some of the old mackies people used to use (that always had like 5 channels that were dead LoL). EDIT: and no I'm not bashing mackie, amazing for project studios back in the day, but just sayin.. you know. mackies back in the day were blueish green where berrys are purply grey. got it?

I love that one. I guess he didn't want to waste his manleys on tracking? :-)

I don't quite follow this one - must be misunderstanding what you wrote. I often mix outside the box through analog desks, doesn't add any more latency than taking 2track out of the daw since the sound is coming out in either stereo (in the box mix) to the cans while she overdubs or multitrack (out of the box mix) to the mixer to outboard fx to the cans while she overdubs. my outboard doesn't have latency. my converters have latency. one layer of d/a is n latency. if I run the d/a 20 times simulataneously for 20 tracks it's still n total latency. I can playback 2 or 20 tracks on my mpowered system, same amount of latency (almost zilch). and either way it's irrelevant since the software should be smart enough to compensate for it (if not then you can do it yourself... which is what I thought you meant in the next part... turns out I was wrong hahaha, who knew mic leads had latency...)
so I totally am misreading what you're saying I think. sorry bout that, but either way the next point is sheer brilliance:

THAT IS THE WINNER. I've never heard a story with the "engineer" being the dumbass. I love that one. made my day. :-)
cheers man, great post.
