So I started off my response by explaining "if all processing was done in the box..." Some people mistakenly think that the box will make their already-printed mixes sound better just because the monitoring sounds different - it seems you know the difference. Ideally re-printing the mix WILL give you some sort of different sound, something beyond the board being ever so slightly different than the first session, despite your pictures - and you will be able to decide if it's "better" or "worse".
No problem. I did, however, say that "The song was mixed on a stock 002r into 18 channels on a Souncraft DC2000 console." and also mentioned being very interested in hearing the difference in D/A conversion... Analog summing wasn't literally mentioned but that should give it away pretty well.

As said, the photos are just to re-create the fader positions and hi shelves on the console. All other processing (eq, comp, reverb, delay etc.) and automation is indeed done in PT. To be honest, I use a master eq/enhancer in the console master insert. Someday I hope to have an Empirical Labs Fatso jr. and Aphex Studio Dominator there as well...

Anyway, I hope that my unit arrives tomorrow!

Kindest regards,
