Yeah, but can you run your entire mix through it?

[fcknoise]

I suppose you could do it separately for each channel?

May I ask how you guys would even envision doing some of these things when the final mix in question is stereo?

That's a good question.

Bussing. (I don't even know what that means, but it sounds cool).

Pass left channel through fx and back into recording unit, then pass right channel through fx and then back into recording unit. but that is how I would do it.

Revert back to mono because its more pure and oozes vintage vibes. Really. You should checkout the connection btween the loss of dynamic due to volume wars and the effect of stereo.

Mono is the one true path. its even in the name. Mono. One. QED.

I'd do the "Wall of Sound" thing and rerecord the master hella loud in a big concrete room and make damn sure the recording is in mono.

Or run it through a pushed tape deck.

I want to try a hawk so bad.

Get one and try it. If you don't like it then Chutneyfarmer might take it off your hands. And if he doesn't I will.

This!

When I google searched it I found a link to the last time I posted it on ILF.

I'm so fucking cool.

Track to your daw in 3 steps:
Step 1:
2 track stereo mix, effect in Odd master bus, hard panned Left and click track or timecode in Even hard panned Right. Use tracks 1 and 2 for your first take.

Step 2:
Once you've finished tracking your *entire mix* you'll repeat, switching the effect to the Even/Right master bus and the code to the Odd/Left, tracking to 3 and 4 for your second take.

Step 3:
You'll have 4 tracks with your audio in 1 and 4, grouped into 2 stereo takes (1+2, 3+4). Mute both audio tracks (1+4). Align both takes so in the DAW, the click tracks in 2 & 3 sync up when playing, mute them and unmute the audio tracks in 1 and 4. Then pan 1 left and 4 right, mix down to stereo.

This method was used going back to the 60s, to economize when studio/broadcast gear was prohibitively expensive and mostly custom/DIY built by in-house engineers. Way before timecode and MIDI...tracking was painstakingly done to multitrack tape machines with the use of auto-locater logic...and before that by some very patient individuals! Digital, non-destructive editing within a DAW makes things considerably easier...but the practice is still relevant 50 years later

May need a bit of a boost during mastering though.
