Holy Summing Batman

Wowwowowowowowowow. Protools is alive!!!!! I just hooked up my API 8200/7800 summing system and holy crap what a difference. I would say it sounds 50% better (if not more) then the protools mix bus. All the transients just came to life and the low end and got all deep and tight. The sound immediatly gained so much dimension. I am impressed. The previous people that were not impressed with summing and protools are out of their minds. Icon+summing= me happy. I can stop thinking about neves now.

Got the same setup here and love it !! now put a big ben on your PT interfaces and and get a kickass patchbay and wire all your inserts (and insert Distressors, Neves, 1176, Massive Passive, Cranesong, LilFreq Eq and etc...) and it will Blow you away. Congrats on your discovery.

I found out the same thing when I hooked up my Dangerous 2 Bus.

As for patchbays I use the Mini Shorti Quick Switch from patchbays.com

Here are a few old installation pics: My mini quick TT

Which D2b do you have? Trying to figure out and probably do my own shootout between that and the Audient Sumo, Nicerizer, and the Spl.
Thanks for the patchbay hookup..

Thanks for the link. I don't wanna take this thread over, but can I ask a "honest" ignorant question? Is it possible to get the same quality sound out of a 1/4 patchbay? Why TT? I know it's standard in the big studios and I'm in the process of setting mine up now. Glad to know that you guys are happy with you summing boxes cause that's next in on the order list..
