Question time for y'all in them thar big cities.
There's a lot of different summing schemes in a lot of different boards, etc. What's to stop anyone from using their DAW for sub-bussing (like going to a Dangerous or whatnot), then to their analog board for compressions, EQ, external effects, and THEN to a monster cool summing unit like (fill in your favorite flavor that's better than what your board has here)?
Example: I really like our Soundtracs Solo EQ, and my analog comps, with TC and Lexicon reverbs, but don't like (at all) the board;s summing. If this works the way we want, then we'll look at adding whatever flavor we think is needed (if any).
It's gonna make for an interesting week, to be sure
