Going out to analog and back in will of course change the sound due to AD/AD conversion but won't necessarily improve it. What will definitely improve everything is to get your finished mixes mastered at a good mastering studio. -- Pete Thomas www.petethomas.co.uk - Free Logic Icons, Environments and EXS Instruments
