What would you do if you have 100 tracks with very weak signal level? Just process it with audio suite gain? or run through preamp then record it to new track?

simonsez said:You mean ITB? yeah...loud and s***t.. ;D...I think i have a session that recorded to mix ITB later, they recorded it at very low level to avoid overloud DAW master fader...If only a few track i would run it to analog pre and record it back, but....100 tracks? .

ruairioflaherty said:Don't worry about what it looks like! What does it sound like???
Yes I mix in the box in Pro Tools, and insert some analogue outboard when I need it. Using preamps for colour can introduce noise, I haven't had any luck with it, it's more a Gearslutz notion than anything else..
Digital gain is not a problem, I'd happily boost a mix using an L2 or another good plug if it needs it. Will the tracks be getting mastered?
simonsez said:And yes, i bounce/record to new track at 24bit 48khz, and it will getting mastered to CD, and....ring back s**t 8bit mono files
pasarski said:Only thing that matters is if it was originally recorded at 16 or 24bit. Bouncing 16bit recordings to 24bit want help in anyway, just makes the project heavier.
I would keep them at origial bit depht and maybe put a trim plugin to every track so I can use faders nearer to 0db with better resolution.
