Re: setting record levels into ProTools with the intent of mixing in ProTools

Hi Felix,
If you are mixing internally within PT the fader outputs are passed along to the mix buss without being truncated. Therefore you don't experience the loss of resolution at low fader levels when mixing internally as you do when mixing externally.

sorry, still a little confused. [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]
so you're saying that lowering the mixer faders does not degrade the signals in any way? i figure that there is signal processing going on when the volume of the signal is altered and that if all the channels are altered, then the result is an accumulation of processed, re-calculated sources which would seem to be detrimental. do you mean to say that when all this math is finished, nothing is rounded up to achieve the final result? or do you mean to say that whatever degradation occurs is not significant enough to warrant recording at lower levels (thus losing bits/dynamic range for each recorded signal)?
