I have still been mixing ITB because its familiar but I would really like to look into mixing OTB once I can figure the workflow.
When you are mixing OTB using a DAW like Cubase, how do you deal with the 32 track limit using the FW card? I imagine that you use 2 tracks for each FX return from Cubase which futher reduces your track count. Using FX in the DM helps but we all have our VST effects that we know and love. I suppose that you mix all your drums, BGVs, strings, etc to 2 track stereo stems for the DM to deal with. Am I on track with my thinking on this and does this work well in real life?
