Just curious.
I have; the analog console mix smoked the ITB mix. |
Oh I wasn't suggesting at all that ITB was better or worse than OTB. I was just making the point that it's possible to create a good sounding mix ITB if that's what you have to work with. The challenge is figure out how to add the distortions the mix is missing. I don't claim to know that trick.
And just to play devil's advocate: "smoked" is matter of preference. I bet that many classical and jazz guys might make the claim that the ITB "smokes" the OTB mix for a given tune.
I personally have never had the chance to perform the experiment you are describing. I'm 98% positive that if I did I probably might have the same feeling as you. But I'll likely never have that opportunity so my time is best spent trying to make the most of the medium that I have to deal with on a daily basis.
