Artesia Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 just done a little experiment this weekend, having just got hold of an alesis multitrack recorder & an assortment of adat widgetry,I recorded a portion of a live gig i was doing sound for with the ddx3216 mixer; this consisted of linking the mixer via digital adat to the alesis hd recorder. 6 channels where direct raw feeds from the stage, consisting of two vocal mics, two guitar & two for keyboards & backing. the remaining two chanels where used to record the live mix as it came out of the mixer.I then took this home and then downloaded the resulting files to my pc and fed the multitracks into cubasse for a little fun. after setting up a full mix in cubase using its 'in the bundle vst effects' ...i made the curious discovery that no matter what, it could not attain as natural & pleasant a mix as was obtained with the mixer !...then again the mixer uses a bundle of sarc processors running 48-72 bit (?) floating point dsp caluations for all the effects.. and something tells me the freebie effects with cubase are somewhat compromised/economical on cpu footprint. ...hmm keeping my eyes out for effects and processing that can compare (without hitting Waves) ..tho something tells me that the mixers going to see a fair bit more use :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
