Erm...I guess if you clip the converters to get the sound, then reprint it in via a DA/AD loop, that'd "fix" the sound without running this risk. But you're getting into "proper" mastering there.

As for the whole Chris Lago situ, I'd cut the guy a break - he's only doing what everyone talks about, the "grind" isn't he? And as he says, he's not pimping his services out explicitly.

I personally don't agree with the jack-of-all-trades approach (and if it was me, I'd definitely keep the modelling aspect out of it, especially as an avatar!), but it's whatever works for you.

since when are you into cutting guys breaks?
