| A variation on the same summing theme conversion back and forth what do you think ? I know alot of you are summing outside the DAW into a summing station and add your outboard in that chain too. Out of the DAw > into outboard > into summ box. That way outboard compression levels etc will vary depending by the level changes created in the DAW , right ? What if you just insert your hardware on an insert point in the DAW and then going out to the summing box? Of course you have to have extra convertors + the disantvantage of a second conversion. Are there people out there working this way? Opinions please Why ? ; why not ?

| Any conversion i/o journeys cause signal latency. Thats a pain in the ass. And any signal subject to that journey is due to get a quality loss. I find that in practise, the post fade compression is not the total disaster you might think it would be.

| well Latency is not an issue here , PT HD  But I never have had a clear view on how much the signal is degrading each time a conversion takes place. BTW, Doing mainly Rock music.

  | Just don´t bother w/ degradation, if you´re doing rock´n roll I would say the benefits from summing outside the box will be much greater than the degradation from D/A/D. Just my .02 |

| Latency would probably be about 1 to 2ms making a single trip out correct? Sending all of your tracks out of the HD converters at the same time and inserting a couple of those analog signals into comps etc. should not be an issue as you are sending the entire signal and returning the entire signal. I doubt you will notice a 2ms delay in the mix. If so, then bump the track back 2ms in ProTools. There could be an issue with many send effects as you are blending the two at different times due to latency. War
