i have a question
im seting up my first home studio. do you need a digital mixer board to mix down tracks connected to an audio interface in order to achieve a good qauity sounding mix. or can we have just the audio preamp interface only and use software like protools to mix it...cause i notice theres mixer boards on the program.
Digital Mixer
CJ -
If I understand your question correctly you are asking if you need to use the software's digital mixer to manage your mix down. The short answer is no, you don't need to use a digital mixer to do the mix down - but you will need a mixer at some point (digital or analog).
If you are referring to a hardware mixer that is digitally controlled like a Tascam DM3200, then no you don't need the console to be strictly digital. Analog consoles will work, too.
I recommend you use your software (protools, Cubase, etc.) to do all of your mixing. The last album my band did we recorded everything on a Yamaha Digital Audio Workstation and then used Cubase to build the mixes. We finalized to mix through a TC Electronics Finalizer and had an awesome sounding recording.
Good luck on your project!
