I have collection of lovingly restored analog gear. All tube mixers, LA-2A and Pultec reproductions. I also have a Mackie ProFx16 mixer I use for live work. I've never recorded to anything but a reel to reel.
I'd like to use the Mackie's USB out to record to the MacBookPro. My question is can I use the Mackie as a summing mixer and plug an analog mixer(Altec1567a, Grommes G5m) 600 ohm outputs into a channel on the Mackie board with out damaging the Mackie's fragile ( compared to the tube stuff) circuitry?
I'm planning to record my band early in the new year.
Mixing old with new. Just bought MacBook Pro
This may be the first time I've ever read "Mackie" and "fragile" in a single sentence.
It may sound weird or distorted, but it won't break the Mackie.
Entire careers were sonically launched on completely overdriving Mackie inputs in the early/mid-nineties. Bj?rk's "Homogenic" album comes to mind (not a career-launcher, though) - that was in liberal combination with Sherman Filterbank processing.
