I remember the first time I recorded a live show to someone's consumer DAT, we turned it way up and listened in on all the conversations going on between tunes. That much really was impressive.

Now I'm about good for one generation of analog, and that would be tracking. The noise and loss of transients gets me when we head off to analog mixdown. Too much of a good thing, to my ear. It seems a variety of kinds of harmonics is to my liking. 1 time through tape, 1 time through the HEDD, and I'm guessing the Fatso on the way to the HEDD would be colorful without being redundant.

I'm a puriste nut, but it don't sound pure to me without harmonics growing on the harmonics...
