Dangerous 2bus analog summing

does anyone have experience with the dangerous music 2bus analog summing device? 16 xlr ins, 2 xlr outputs, thats basically it. anyone A/B'd internal summing to it? i've heard a lot of great things about it...

Yes Yes and Yes I purchased one and have been using one for about a week or so now and used one several months ago.I did a lot of a b comparsions.The units do sound great it was like opening up the front door to my house and going inside of my mixes Whow this is inside of here!I have a HD2 with a 96IO and a 888 clocked off of a Apogee PSX100se going into the 2 bus LT. Yes you can get great results from just protools and I have, but when you use the Dangerous 2 bus it's like sitting behind a hi end console. That's the truth I purchased one with my own money no one is paying me to say this! Phil Plaskon

Bryan, the only issue I have with this box is the fact that you have to work with stereo pairs all the time in order to pan tracks. The sound of the box is very good. I'm going to look into the new API line that just came out (same concept, but with individual pans and a cool seperate summing module), I have a feeling it's more suitable for the kind of jobs we're doing.

I have model number 001 !! I like it, on the D2B you can push a mono button and dont need to come out of a pair, als that is stereo DIRECT OUTPUT pairs, quite different from say an Aux, Do a search here on the DUC - you will fing a LOT of information.

Fing? Find perhaps? Must get those teeth fixed!

Hey Bryan, I was invloved in the multitrack drum sample CD called Reel Drums. ( Wave Distribution distributes that as well as Dangerious 2 Bus) After all 16-18 drum tracks were done we did some listening (non scientific) tests with the PT mixer summing and the 2bus for summing the drums into a stereo master, and the 2 Bus was killer.. Just like other posters have said, it was like a door had been opened into the mix--smooth, clear, wide and just juicy. It was great.. More importantly , is this the Byran Cook from the 'ol days back in Boston at that Bezerklee school? If so, this is Victor (worked on Jesse's stuff with ya at the end)... drop me a line if ya get a chance-- we can catch up on where what who etc... it would be nice to hear from ya! hope all is well take care --victor

I think I'm the only person on the planet to have gotten a 2-Bus LT and not fallen in love with it. I have a PT HD-3 system with a 192 i/o, and don't find much of a difference at all. Perhaps it's because I don't record a lot of acoustic instruments, instead working mostly from soft-synths and samplers with small amounts of acoustic instruments/vocals thrown in(I'm also still a 44.1khz guy). I'm also routing the 2-mix out of the 2-Bus back into my 192 i/o, perhaps that has something to do with it, as most people who have posted their 2-Bus praises seem to rout their 2-mix outs into a MasterLink or other outboard mastering unit. I swear, I've got ears(and 20+ successful years in the biz to prove it), but I'm just not hearing the difference everybody's talking about. If I'm doing something wrong, please let me know before the 2-Bus ends up on Ebay.
