We put our ProTools HD3 system online last Friday and I have been asses and
elbows learning the danged thing before I rent the room out for a four day mix
project this Friday.

I must say that the HD sounds way better than my 4.1.1 mix system from 7 years
ago...although I do believe my Radar (w/classic analog cards) sounds better at
48/24. I am gonna a/b them with PT running 96k today but for my money the Radar
still sounds better.

The only way I'll be able to make this work is to use PT as a tape deck through
the console as the mixes I have done in PT sound like crap compared to a
straight analog mix....still.

Overall I am digging it for the tool that it is. A helluva an editing device
and when I really need that over the top smashed thin sound PT is known for I
can have it!

Yeehaw! Now I can get that "contemporary" sound of over compressing every
single thing in the mix! Man, I'm so hip!

Lol....

RADAR mixed through what? ProTools HD is a mixing system (unless
you're just sending multiple ouptuts through the same console you're
mixing the RADAR through).

That's what it does best - editing and processing. Mixing is still
something most of us would really rather do with a console or
something that looks like one, for convenience, and to impress the
clients.
