Jeff getting into the real engineering talk on this one!

We’re talking mix board routing, patch bays & how everything flows into the DAW.

The big question: are you running your signal into your DAW… or processing it after? 

Because that decision matters.

If you print it on the way in, it’s baked. Compression, EQ, saturation… all part of the signal for good. No undo button.

If it’s just for monitoring, cool. You’ve got flexibility later.

Simple idea but easy to overlook.
Know what you’re committing to.

Because once it’s printed… that’s the record.
