Okay, I have made my decision on how I want to proceed, and it was due in very large part to my conversation with Kev from days of yore. :wink:
I am going to get a small but good sound card (I have my eye on the Lynx2 4-in/4-out) and mix ITB. The issue is, I want to be able to use my analog outboard gear in the mixdown. This means looping audio out of the soundcard, up to four tracks at a time, processing it, then sampling it back in.
Has anyone here ever worked this way before?
This would greatly reduce the number of compressors and equalizers I would need to build. It would make the workflow a little more complicated, but I think I can handle that.
As for implementation, it seems to me that a well-wired patchbay would be my friend here. With little more than a bunch of short patch cables, I can define any signal path I want out of the computer, through any devices, then back into the computer. Would this be the best way to do it?
Any other thoughts? Thanks all for your help!
