So Nathan my question about that would be.....

Do you think this is the analog summing buss or the difference between the physical vs. virtual faders causing the improvement in your eyes (ears)?

That is to say, discounting ITB and external EQ / compression are the benefits of something like a Folcrom causing the good vibrations or do you think it is the faders on a full blown console making the difference?

I have my opinion on this already but I am wondering what other people think, open to having my mind changed.

For the record I do think that you can get a good mix ITB and if that is how you work cool, but I do believe that hardware tools like compression and EQ are just slightly ahead of (or in some cases miles ahead of) software tools, the gap is closing to be sure.
