Man I wish we could track using plugs on the inserts in Paris.
I was watching the Charles Dye "Mix It Like a Pro" DVD samples and one his
lessons deals with "tracking" with tracking plugins or better analog channel
plugs. He stated that if you track with a analog tracking plugin and then
have that same plugin on the mix bus, this will give you the same kind of
harmonic distortion we like with mixing and tracking on a analog console.
So, with these new Waves(SSL G/E series) channel strips & Mix buss Conmpressor(Which
I'm very familiar with) using the Charles Dye example (above) would yeild
some amazing results not only in Paris, but any DAW(Logic, SX/Nuendo,DP,
PT, Sonar,and Samplitude.)
Note: A friend of in myarea uses Samplitude 8.X and I have to say, that Samplitude
has to be one thee best sounding DAW's I've rean across. Blew me away!!

There are several:
1. I did a comparison of the same 16 tracks mixed dry with only panning and
level adjustments between Cubase SX, Sam 7 and my Tascam DM24 mixer, and
the Sam mix was obviously above the Cubase mix in clarity and definition.
Both mixes were better than the DM24. Frankly I was surprised at the
difference, but it was a convincing demonstration.
2. The onboard EQs (2 kinds), compressors (2 kinds), multiband compressor,
program limiter, transient compressor, pitch/time correction, and
convolution reverb are as good as plugins one could spend thousands on.
3. Though it does not make it sound better, the object editor is a huge
convenience, which basically allows one to take any piece of an audio track
and EQ, effect, pitch correct, etc. it discretely and non-destructively
without affecting the rest of the track. Once you start using this feature
you really appreciate its power.
4. It also burns CDs and does anything else an editor does, so I never use
an editor any more.
I have some minor gripes with it, and its MIDI is well short of other
programs (though it does everything I need, and has greatly improved in Sam
8) and there are certain features I appreciated from other programs I would
like to see included or beter implimented in Sam, but in the final balance I
have chosen Sam over all others because my work "sounds better". Each to his
own.
