Summing OTB with cheap Yamaha MD8 Mixer

[Yummerz]

No idea which is which, but I like 3 the best, it feels the most open. 1 is muffled sounding. 2 is in between.

Try-1 - ITB

[Sanlky]

Try 3 sounds clearer so i guess is summing ITB, since there is nothing lost in conversion, and no analog degradation or distortion.

Try 2 sounds a bit louder but little muddy, i guess is +4

Try 1 sounds to me with less clearer, the worst i like so i guess... its -10(well its not something that should be that way).

I hope i am wrong, because ITB with cheap converters and cheap summing, lots of times sounds more clear, because there is no degradation.

this is easy

1: ITB Logic (little bit muffled but a clear punchy low end - more transient Sound)
2: Yamaha MD8 summing "high gain" (bright but i hear distortion, no punch/no transient)
3: Yamaha MD8 summing "low gain" (bright but muddy low end, no punch/no transient)

Well, so far everyone has been wrong

Wow! this is not easy. I'd swear they are all the same, so I have to use the force.
If I had to pick one, I'd take Try-1.
Its just more pleasing to me, I think you nailed it there. It has more detail in the lows, less graininess in the highs.
Since everyone is wrong so far, Try-1's not ITB?
My money's on Try1= +4

1 - OTB
2 - ITB
3 - OTB + Gain

Quite obvious. Bass and Kick says it all.

If I'm wrong I will jump off a small building.

[roughgear]

Hey Joel! You stay on top of that building! No need to jump

[Yummerz]

results?

[roughgear]

Joel was right:

1. OTB "low gain"
2. ITB Logic Bounce
3. OTB "high gain"

Which version would you give to a mastering engineer?

[ciggi]

I would give nr 1 then 3 and then 2 to the Mastering Eng - Nr.3 fits the overall Sound and Style of the Band most in my ears but the distortion is too obvious so its Nr.1

Hi Roughgear - sorry a bit off topic, I have an md recorded on a yamaha md8 with a lot of sentimental value - can you possibly help me convert to cd please?

Heh, awesome...i still use my MD8 when mixing with other people, since I don't have hardware to control my DAW beyond mouse/keyboard....and our crew has always found these mixes to be best. As a straight summing mixer I think it is actually pretty golden, and the EQ section proves consistently usable for me in nearly every situation.
