I´m quite instered in this aspect of recording because that implies a kind of mixing as long you are recording and it´s faster to go from one song to another. I know that with a DAW you can move the fader on the DAW and leave the fader at the console at 0 but I´m very interested in hear your opinion.

Thank you.
Please, call me Bruce....

Going faster from one song to another could never be an issue to me..... Whether my recording system is digital or analogue.... I am ONLY interested in the music involved....
