Jordi Cirbian Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'm working with a cooper sound mixer 306 connected to an Aaton Cantar-x Recorder. I love the pre of my aaton cantar but realize that going throught the mixer pre and then aaton pres instead line input I get a more nicer color in my opinion. I know I'm using two pre`s... but I still love the result. Has anybody experienced this too? Jordi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Ray Charles famously said: "it's all about the sound... I don't care if you've got ninety tracks, how does it sound, baby, how does it sound."

Or does all analog input pass through its mic pres? phil p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Cirbian Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 In the cantar we have 4 line inputs and 5 pre's in analog mode. Even reducing the input level on the pre for high gain inputs I'm still using the pre's with the limiters, highpasses, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil, the line inputs are completely different inputs from the mic inputs. the five mic inputs offer a possibility to use line inputs by way of software - you have a Mic level and a high level and a very high level input option, and all the input filters are available to be used in any of these settings... -vin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Cirbian Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Hehe Vinod man! How is it going! Sometimes, in this job cause we have no one to compare or to discuss how to do things, I'm wondering if the rest of the collegues are working on the same way or it´s just me! It's this sensation of working always by ourselves! Man, I´ll be going to India very soon for the post of the movie I've done recently. I have the same skype Id, we´ll get in touch!

Mark Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Hi Jordi. I guess either pre would sound good. You got some good options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
