Mixdown advice
Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2005 11:49 pm
Hello All
I'm currently working on an recording my bands debut release and as I'm approaching the mixdown stage and intend on getting it mastered would appreciate some advice as to what medium to mixdown to.
The music is noisey pychedelic indie rock. I'd like to think the our recording is on the slicker side of Lo-Fi. Loud bombastic steve albini drums lots of guitar etc.
can hear earlier shitty demos at www.mp3.com.au/thenarcotics
I'm working with DAW equiped with an egosys waveterminal 192M running at 24bit 96k.
The basic tracks drums/bass were recorded on a a teac 1/4" 4 track and feed into the computer. Most of the overdubs have been fed through the otari before hitting the computer. Theres no shortage of analoge "warmth" in the recording and a bit of tape hiss as well (that doesn't bother me)
I have an Otari MX5050 2SHT - no noise reduction, it is in very good condtion however.
The recording will be mixed down outside of the computer through a mixer
Should I
- feed the mix back into the soundcard
- mix to the otari
- pursue other options? Hiring out converters?
Any advice appreciated
Thanks
Tom
