I am interested in getting an Otari two track 1/4" or 1/2" analog recorder for tracking directly into Pro Tools. I don't intend on using the recorder as anything more than an analog effect on front end tracking.

Something along the lines of:

Great River ME-1NV-->Analog Recorder-->Rosetta 200 A/D-->SPDIF in to Mbox.

The million dollar question is whether I could still monitor out of pro tools while tracking to the machine. In other words, will the analog machine line out function while I am tracking to it? The idea is that the recorder would simply be one more step in the input chain.

I never track more than 2 at a time, so I'm thinking that if I can get around the monitoring issue, I could then take a finished mix out of Pro Tools and record a master bus mix to tape then back in for final conversion. Cheap way to get into analog?
