Mixdown on Outboard Console - How Do You ROUTE?
I've been mixing to an outboard recorder (Masterlink) but I'd like to mix to PT from the outboard console. I'm sure there is a simple answer - So My PT tracks are routed out to the console. I tried patching the mix outs from the console into a couple of spare channels on the interface. Signal does show up there. But in PT, there is a feedback loop when I hit record on those tracks.
Fail. How is this normally done?

Re: Mixdown on Outboard Console - How Do You ROUTE?
If you're using the 24 I/O, I would appropriate 23-24 for the mix input and monitoring output. The sum from the console goes to 23-24 input and 23-24 output goes to the 2-track inputs on the console for monitoring. In Pro Tools, make sure the mix track is routed to 23-24.

Re: Mixdown on Outboard Console - How Do You ROUTE?
What I did was get a 2x2 interface to another computer which is my 2 track machine.
So, outputs 1-24 from my interface to tape returns 1-24 of the console. \ Tape 1 out from the console to the mixdown machine. Since the 2d machine is only recording 2 tracks, it doesn't need near the horsepower of the multitrack (ProToools) machine. In fact it's an AMD Athlon x2 w/4 gig.

Re: Mixdown on Outboard Console - How Do You ROUTE?
Since you're mixing on a console, the likelihood that PT is being taxed is low IMO. I can't see a need for a second DAW unless you're looking to capture your mix at a different sample rate.

Re: Mixdown on Outboard Console - How Do You ROUTE?
I use Soundforge for the mixdown computer.
I'm an old geezer, and I tried eliminating the 2d workstation, but it got to be a pain switching from listening to the multitrack to listening to the 2mix. This way I just select Tape1 as my console source to listen to the 2mix and mix to hear the multitrack. Unless I missed something (I switched from Nuendo), I'd have to mute the multitrack tracks to listen to the 2mix. I'm not saying that my way is better, just easier for me.

Re: Mixdown on Outboard Console - How Do You ROUTE?
I don't use Nuendo anymore at all. I got pissed off during the initial 4.0 debacle, and stayed with 3.2 till last year. I guess it might have worked, but I never bothered to set the control room up due to all the confusion over routings when it first came out.
Additionally I know of at least one project I lost cause I couldn't check the PT requirement off. They wanted to track at my place and mix somewhere else.
