Hello Everyone,
I just joined the group and have been using Mixbus v2.5 (Mac) for a few years. I work exclusively as a dedicated mastering engineer these days and I have been thinking about switching over to Mixbus on the Radar Studio platform with their Classic 96 converters. Do any of you run this configuration with a focus on mastering?
Currently, I use a pitch and capture approach with two different DAWs. My pitch system consists of a Mac laptop running Pro Tools with a Digidesign 002 (rack) interface with the Black Lion, "Signature Series" mod out through my.... (ANALOG) mastering chain captured into my (capture) system that is running Harrison Mixbus (Mac) with an Apogee Rosetta 200 (w/firewire card) as my interface and AD/DA conversion.
This system works great for my needs, but I'm wondering if switching over to Radar Studio might be more streamlined, stable, and possibly sound better for a mastering set up.
For those of you that know, how quiet is Radar Studio? I would like to eliminate the need to house my computer and external drives in an iso box or separate machine room if possible. I would love to hear your thoughts...
Thanks,
Brian Poole
