Recording in real studio, mixing at home w/ Pro Tools, mastering at real studio
If I record a song at a real studio, and I bring all the .wav files home, and mix them on a PC using Pro Tools LE, then master it at a real studio, what do I lose in the way of sound quality? It's just a rock song with two guitars, bass, drums and vocals. The studio uses Steinberger Nuendo.
What if I mix it and master it at the studio and load it into Pro Tools and EQ it a little bit? Do I lose anything? |

Maybe what you are asking is will your computer inherently degrade the original in some way. I would say no, only the human aspects of it will do the damage. |

Your hypothetical has less to do with gear and far more to do with the skill of the operator(s).
Really. |

Thanks y'all, if I screw it up, it's my fault and not the computer or software.

you really should not have to eq anything after you master, like someone here said, read up a bit on mastering and you will see why very quickly.

Really don't take it as an offence, but if you have a question like this, you should give your material to engineer/mastering eng., and don't touch it after.
Really read about the whole process. Don't make it upside down. The correct order would be, read-read-practice-practice-, etc.
