Success! There is a difference, I noticed some of my stereo image width going byebye, and the high-mids aren't quite as "soft" as on the 2-inch, but that's all well documented digital vs. analog stuff. It still sounds great to me. At the end of the day, it's the song that counts and not audiophile paranoia, and I need over 24 tracks to get this thing done in the production style we want.
J, I was thinking if you needed some tracks for a new IMP, I'd be happy to lend this one. Just drop me a PM. (although we're not quite done with tracking yet, bout 80% of the way there)
