| First Outboard Summing Today. OMG! I started summing OTB today. The chain is a Lynx Aurora 16 DA -> RMS Folcrom -> DACS MicAmp -> Pendulum OCL-2 compressor -> Cranesong HEDD192 AD -> SD-744T digital recorder. The mix was a live choral group I recorded in 4ch a few weeks ago, accompanied by a small ensemble that includes string players from the San Francisco Symphony. I had already mixed it ITB and I had to change my approach entirely because immediately there was more headroom. The only way to describe the sound is effortless and open. Even my wife can hear it. She says she hears deeper into the choir, more separation and detail. It's like the ITB mix was crowded or strained. Now there's room for everything. With the Folcrom it mixed quicker and sounds better. I even think it's louder but can't say why, but I know the really loud parts are less fatiguing. I'll post some clips when I can. Unfortunately the prior mix didn't have identical settings, so there is no AB. |

 | Did you mix through it or just break out stems that were mixed in PT? |

| Same experience here I can not stand the ITB aproach. I surely do it on a dayly basis but when I have a budget (an album or a production job for a major label) or my own production, I sum out in my noisy Mackie 32-8 (faders all same level) and alesis ART and dbx comprs in all 8 busses. A lot more headroom and slight saturation. Masters sounds more, how can I say it......?.....mmmmh alive |
