just my .02 but i suggest doing your 2 track "mixdown" as actual audio. your computer isnt terrible at playing back all those different waveforms simultaneously...but when it tries to write one composite waveform it tends to do a rather mushy job of it...for that reason i always run out of my daw as analog audio and back into another 2 track be it a 1/4" machine, DAT, CD recorder, or even 2 tracks of an adat or other multitrack...some might call this converter abuse...and maybe it technically is...but it sounds better
