Default Normalization Pros and Cons?

Mr. Dorsey, for resolution purposes, do you support the idea of mixing
on an analog console from the DAW? or do you tend to stay all digital


Depends. Staying digital is certainly a better idea from a sonic perspective
since you're avoiding those converters. The problem is that your effects
and processing are limited to digital stuff now.

If you're doing fairly minimalist stuff where you're using no EQ, you're
only summing a few channels, and you aren't doing much gainriding, using
no external effects, staying digital for mix is a huge win. When I do
classical stuff that is multitracked, this is how I work.

Personally, though, I find mixing on typical digital consoles (or even worse
on workstations) is irritating as hell, and it basically eliminates all
the usual processing stuff that you like for production. So when I am doing
anything other than minimalist classical stuff, I use a conventional console
because that is what feels better to me. Then again, most of the time that
I do that, I'm working from an analogue master tape too.
