I find that there is very little point in recording a digital mix, summed ITB, over to tape, unless you are after a certain type of saturation.
You won't really be getting more resolution out of it!
2" or PTHD mutitrack playback, mixed through an SSL, captured to 1/2" tape, is what many mix engineers swear by and many of the top mastering engineers like to cut from. |
I don't know about that. You will still get a "hugging" of the mix, variable by level to tape. How much this does for your music is of course arguable, and for the style of music mentioned I might personally not bother. However you do get a mix that will react completely differently to further treatment, i.e. mastering tweaks, as mentioned before. EQing something off tape is to me infinitely smoother than a digi mix. Takes the potential pain out of top boosts for one.
