Albums recorded with 16x's?

Some people bring in their own stereo ADs and so on.

Statistically, anything done out of the biggest studios is likely to have been recorded on 192s, if it was done on PT.

IME, most studios I know with PT HD have upgraded their converters from something other than the 192s (Burl, Lavry, Prism, etc.).

I tracked with the Apogee AD16X for the last 6 years and really like them, but I just sold mine recently and use mostly the Lavry Blue and the Burl B2 Bomber now, which I prefer slightly but great records can be made by all of the above.

"Hi Tony, we tracked to both PT and tape for Drums and Bass, this was what we used:

Machine - Ampex ATR-124
Tape - GP9
ips - 30 for Drums 15 for Bass
NR - no
"how hot" - conservative
Sample Rate - 96K
Converters - Apogee AD16X / DA16X
Master Clock - BigBen

We had both analog and digital tracks in each session. So even while tracking vocals we could A/B between the two. Although after the GTRs and Bass were finished it became more obvious. In this instance, the tape seemed to kill the some of the transients on the drums. We did, however, end up using the Analog Bass tracks on a number of songs. I'm proud of the sounds we got on both formats, but ultimately it comes down to what works best in the song."

I wonder where the Auroras kicked into the process?
