Going back to analog - partly...

[logo80]

no completely digital but not completely analog here:
I don't use to follow the same audio chain every time but the pieces I use more are a mackie onyx 1620 connected to the motu traveler straight into the imac. But when I mix I use to pass tracks like guitars, voice, bass, but even keyboards through an old Fostex 350 mixer (that one with the VU meters... very 80ish...) that is really good sounding to my ears. I use it in the mastering too, or as an equalizer... (so I don't strictly use it as a mixer but for its sound). In this way I stay in the digital world but still work with some analog to gave the old good sound to the mix.
Regards, Lorenzo

If your looking at live or a studio mixer, you should look at the TASCAM DM3200 or DM4800.
It's very professional and affordable.
Got one and won't part with it
