I wondered about the same thing. I've been using a Nicerizer 16 to sum and a Mackie 16 stereo channel mixer to bring in my synths. So yesterday I decided to try summing my Protools tracks through the Mackie, and guess what?

It sounded terrible.

Really, really bad. Don't kid yourself. If you're going analog, you need some good shite or it won't improve on the DAW summing bus.
