    Fair enough 🙂 I dont know most of that stuff so cant comment, but out of interest, what is the list if its not a mix tracklist?

    The short answer: Yes.

    If they’re all 5 stars for you, what does it matter what anyone else thinks?

    For a short sample no-one would probably notice, but id stick to 320s if possible.

    Palms on the faders! Sounds nuts, I cant imagine it. It must look like you’re praying :p

    Hang on a sec. Have you got one of those A&H mixers where the gains are on the back? If so, it explains a lot.

    I mix lots of stuff. No scratching though.

    You get a lower noise floor with 24bit, so yeah its better quality for recording.
    For playing over a club PA to a packed room of pissed-up punters, not necessary.

    Except that with your method I wouldn’t be able to do cuts on the line faders (as I couldn’t fling the fader back up to the top). Which was kinda my question about 4-5 posts ago! 😀

    Probably you dont use the faders for cuts is the obvious answer…

    Tbh, I wouldn’t find myself in that situation as I make sure that I’ve got enough headroom by setting the incoming gains and the master out to allow for the flexibility you’re talking about.

    @U31 How would the end result be any different? Assuming you’re not boosting it into the red of course.

    Welllll… They’re not irrelevant. I always keep mine at full (whilst the track is on obviously) so I can use them to cut. I set levels with the gain knob.

    Why have channel faders at 3/4? How do you do cuts on the faders?

    In response to Phil’s post, I once had a manual that came with some yamaha tape 4 track that said on the first page:
    “A BAD RECORDING OF A GOOD SONG IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN A GOOD RECORDING OF A BAD SONG”

    Amen.

    I cant believe how many times ive gone to set up and found all the EQs on the mixer turned up full. What was the last guy doing?! First thing I do is zero the mixer and start from fresh.
