Apart from having an SSL mixer then the focusrite will ALWAYS be better than going through a mixer afterwards which will always degrade the sound.

If you have the luck to have focusrite pre-amps, why would you want to degrade that?




I remember being at a session many years ago when the vocal was recorded through a Neuman U87 mic (around $2000) and an SSL G-series mixer. The producer then put some distortion on it because it "didn't sit right in the mix". It's the same as recording in digital and then bolting a tape-saturation plug-in across the main output buss.

I reckon there are no rules - you've just got to keep an open mind.

Just sayin....
