OK . I guess this means you ' re basically doing all the mixing on the computer , while recording ? This is an interesting solution to me , since I ' m almost always doing outboard mixes on an analogue mixer and then only recording the stereo mix output from that . Thanks <| sep |> Years ago we quit with the hassle at thanksgiving too . Instead of trying to make supper work around the family ' s revolving schedules and cooking and cleaning . We all started getting together and having a big wiener roast . The kids loved it . We loved it because we actually got to spend time visiting instead of cleaning up . They were some of the best get togethers we ' ve had . Now everyone has moved away and rarely gets time enough off to do the travelling to get together .
