Alright gents/ladies, I need some advice.
-I really want to put together a mobile rig for tracking full bands in more immediate/intimate/spontaneous settings, but with a decent helping of outboard (I'm fully onboard with DIY and plan on having most of my gear be made by myself).
-On top of that, the music/musicians I tend to work with lend themselves toward a stripped down, retro sound.
-And last but not least...I'm burnt out on DAWs/plugins. Dealing with h/w buffer, hangups, crashes, software updates, dongles, format migrations, etc, it all drives me nuts.
So with the rig I'm wanting to put together... would I be crazy to just get an HDR (like an HD24 or a Tascam 2424) and a mixer, and maybe dump files into PT if i really need to do editing? Or has that ship sailed?
fwiw, I've done a few tape sessions and my entire first year of audio school was with an SSL + HD24, so the stuff is not entirely foreign to me.
Any thoughts?
