Good point, Bill. Would mixing on an Axiom or Capricorn or Oxford be considered ITB? I don't think so, personally.

I am totally for making the sharp line placed around the boundaries of a computer running the DAW, and calling that ITB. It would only imply that everything is kept inside the computer and that's that.
And working on an awesome Oxford would not be considered ITB.
But what happens when you hook up a bunch of UAD-2 Quad cards, SSL Duende, TC Powercore Firewire DSP farms and some digital synths running as plug-in's over USB?
How does that differ from mixing our DAW digital into an Oxford console? It's clearly still "ITB" since it all resides and rebounds into the computer, but it's got heaps of outboard processors.
Tricky question indeed. Then again, when it comes to making music it doesn't really matter.
