The same mix sounds better when distributing used busses to 18 outputs and re-recording digitally over RME S/PDIF to a 24 bit stereo file. This file is then dithered to 16 bits and given a careful "mastering" treatment. I'm comparing this to my old way which was to route used busses to one Logic output, apply the carful mastering treatments there and bounce to a 16 bit file. When listening back to the two 16 bit files on an audio cd the RME summing method sounds better to me. I don't have the time, knowledge or interest to discuss it by any technical means. If it sounds good is good :-) Best wishes Per Boysen (Digital Voodoo Logician) -- www.boysen.se www.looproom.com
