98 to 2!
I only set up a digital chain when a conversion to analog and back causes distortion that I can not attenuate by gain staging. It could be a weird transient in an instrument or a case of having to do something with an already mastered track or slammed mix. In either of these cases, all digital is sometimes the way to go.
I have been mastering for a relatively long time and have some amassed nice outboard digital. When I resort to digital, my chain is a Weiss EQ 1, Weiss DS1 comp, TC 6000, K-unit along with the MDW plug-in, if I need a different EQ.
I mention this because to my ears, as good as it is, this chain is only stricly functional in my world and doesn't give me the same beauty and quality of sound that I get from my analog rig. Mind you, those digital units are always interfaced and available with my analog rig and that is where I like them best!
