TB,
i have a couple simple questions that hopefully wont be too painful.

1. at what sample rate do you record?

2. when you are finalizing a mix, do you print the stereo mix through outboard gear or bounce?? if outboard, what are your favorites?

3. have you ever used a Daking Mic Pre IV and if so, whatcha think?

your friendly and accessable presence here is greatly appreciated.

thanks

-I usually go 24/48 now, but for years mixed to 24/44.1. I've done a couple of projects at 96k and found it cumbersome. Sluggish computer and long back ups. I want to go home and see my family a dinner time.
To be honest I can't hear much difference anyway.
-Never heard of that mic pre. I don't actively look for pre's. I'm covered. I've got four vintage Neve 1084's, six API+550aEQ, and a fantastic Little Labs pre I love, and now I've got 32 Toft/Trident ATB pre's as well. Gotta stop somewhere.

Do you hear a difference between 24/48 and 24/44.1 in tone, depth, etc?

Thanks

Not really. In the '90's I mixed lots of records to SADiE 16/44.1 and they still sound good to me.
I'm just not all that fussy when it comes to that stuff. If I have to flip flop more than three times in an A/B test to figure out what the difference is, I lose interest in that difference.
Also, disparity in repro systems out in the world is so great that to me, it dwarfs the sonic variance between sample rates.

Thanks for that!

Sure.

I suppose you're talking about the old 512's?

Have you ever tried the new ones? Or the new 1084's to check against yours?

Thx. Doug

I worked on an API Legacy when mixing Soul Coughing/Irresistible Bliss. Couple of ODs on it sounded great.
Haven'y heard any re-issue Neves.

Why did you move to 48?

Thanks!

I seem to get a lot of work in 48/24 so I just thought I'd be consistent.
Easier on my head.

That's going into my signature line!
