Good thread...
I completely agree that it is a different skill mixing itb, than it is on a board. Obviously alot of similarities, but different appoach for sure. I love the itb thing now. The total recall of a mix at such ease is invaluable. One click... Sweet....

The whole board vs itb argument is getting less and less valid as time passes. With the current plugs available, you can colour pro tools however you want. Pretty cool i reckon. There is a sonic difference, but its not better or worse to me, just different. Saying that, havent mixed on a board for over a year now. Nice Neotech board... Sweet.

The main thing for me is to not crowd the headroom on the mix bus too much. It can handle alot, but it sounds more restricted after a certain point. Nothing to worry about, you'll know when ya hit that point. Ya drums are usually the first to suffer...

Still, its more about what goes in that counts...

Cheers
