knob twerkin

I SAW THIS MAGAZINE WITH THA ALCHEMIST,GREENLANTERN,DR. DRE AND PREMIER AND ALL OF THEM WERE STANDING OVER A BIG STUDIO MIXING BOARD LIKE U SEE IN ALL THE FAMOUS PICTURES--WELL MY QUESTION IS IF EVERYONE IS USING PRO TOOLS OR WHATEVER THEN WHY R THESE GUYS TWERKIN THE KNOBS ON THE BIG BOARD INSTEAD OF DOING IT IN PRO TOOLS.

they record with pro tools, mix down on the console

AFTER THEY MIX IT DOWN ON THE BIG BOARD WHAT IS THE MIX RECORDED ON OR RECORDED TO

Not usually, usually it's a different recorder, like a high end CD recorder or something.

For dre his beat skeletons are put to dat. I imagine when everything is complete it goes back there as well. Alot of guys use a alesis masterlink as well.

oh but it gets recorded to hd ptools i thought. The final stage yeah i would say dat, reel, cd, or digital. on a side note, I have a quality cd recorder, a HHB burnit 880.

PT plays it back, the SSl mixes it, and a different recorder records it all.
