Transferring ownership of UAD plugins was pretty easy and fee free last time I looked into it.

I suspect they'd work great for that. It'll sound like you're actually sitting in the room.

So, the first test was probably not fair in that it used a stem for the drums. I've conducted another test with a different piece of material where for the OTB test I'm sending all of the tracks through individual channels in the summing box. I have also gotten rid of the idea of testing multiple m...

I love that idea. Unfortunately it's not my mix, so maybe the OP would be down to try it. He could send it to me and we could compare Mackie vs. Soundcraft, but that's all I have to offer (sorta budget vs. mid-grade board idea). My concern is with the size of the files. At 96k/24bit across 16 or so...

Answers: 1) OTB, Sytek 2) ITB 3) Sytek w/Burr Brown chips 4) Great River 5) ITB run through Sytek 6) ITB run through Sytek (identical file to 5) 7) OTB, RNP The RNP was the only unit where I couldn't fine tune the output, hence the shift in image. If I were to do it again I would run each channel of...

If you just want to know if people prefer working with analog or digital summing, then why not just ask people who've tried both? The problem is that you seem to intend to prove something. And, you won't be able to do it. I've never seen anyone do a blind test, so I haven't seen anyone who has isol...

You're getting feedback.... both on your results and your methodology. What's the problem? Did you expect everyone to agree with you? You're not giving feedback about methodology. Your position from the get go has been that *any* such evaluation is worthless regardless of methodology. And you're ge...

THERE IS NO TEST THAT YOU CAN DO THAT WILL PROVE DEFINITIVELY IF OTB MIXING OR ANALOG SUMMING IS "BETTER" THAN ITB MIXING. So? Who cares? I made a piece of equipment. I decided to try to evaluate on some level whether it helps me or not. I did an informal test with it to and invited people to liste...

Well, there is a widely touted claim that analog summing is better than digital summing. Possibly in the advertising world... but, in the real world, and especially where "science" is concerned, this isn't a "widely" held belief at all. And yet I encounter it quite often. A quick search of various ...

Interestingly, most of you seemed to prefer the out of phase mixes. That's exactly why these blind, gotcha tests are mostly useless. Well, there is a widely touted claim that analog summing is better than digital summing. It is also a well known phenomenon that expectation conditions perception--we...

It is with deep embarrassment that I am forced to admit that in the rush to play with my new toy I completely failed to notice that one channel was out of phase with the other in all of the mixes that passed through the summing box. I apologize humbly for having had you listen to f'ed up mixes. List...

Blind Taste Test: Passive Summing vs ITB

Hi Folks. This could have gone in any number of a the forums on here--it seems to defy category. But I picked here. ;) I built a passive summing box. You know, the kind that are all the rage these days. Easy/cheap to build and lets you mix OTB. Basically a DIY Folcrom, designed to plug into a pair o...

I will need some input transformers at some point, but I don't know anything about MAP input transformers and Google isn't helping me out a lot. Is there a page with some info? How do they compare to similar transformers from Jensen, et al?
