Should I follow my research info and buy an Aurora 16 sound card and then sum out of the computer through a Nicerizer 16 to an Otari MX5050 2 track tape machine.
All this for mix recall and automation. Or should I save $20K New Zealand dollars and just mix on my Mackie 1604vlz and bounce through an Apogee Duet?
Will the Aurora 16 still rob alot from the audio? I hope not. But so far digital has kept me struggling and not making music because of the false promises of plug in effects that don't sound good and what ever is killing the sound when it goes into the computer.
I want to send from the sound card to a spring reverb, tape delay and mutron bi phase that are all piped into the summing unit. Yea everything is recallableish and autmatableish.
hey,you could track through a mixer that has spdif or adat out,that also gives you a sound you like,and Eq them the way you want before it goes back into protools.
I have tried tracking VI's,hardware synths,mpc's direct-in and it does loose it's punch,no matter what daw.....well having better convertors does help also.Anyways I have tried even tracking my VI's through my yamaha 02r and the difference is incredible!
As long as it's digital out from your board(console)to digital in your daw via M-box as you stated, you basically are getting the same sound from your board! hope this helps you out a bit.
