Going back to analog - partly...

[Khazul]

For various reasons Im thinking of ditching my yamaha digital mixer and audio interface etc and going for a MOTU 24 i/o + Mackie 32.8 analog desk combo. I might even go for 24 ch HD recorder and skip the computer completely - dunno yet.

Just interested if anyone else works that way - using a multi-channel audio inerface to basically turn their computer into an HD recorder plumbing into an analog recording mixer and mixing the old fashioned way?

Anyone specifically using that desk? Ive used one very briefly, but not extensively enough to know about its issues etc (if any), and I wasnt mixing electronic music on it either.

Part of this is driven by a realisation that I just plain simply miss having a full desk rather than a miserable slim portion of one.

Yeh, I know, back to tracking sheet hell etc, but in reality Im doing that anyway with patch bays, mastering gear etc...
