And take it easy on Telefunken. First, the fix was really easy and who knows where the issue was created. They are a great resource for the mixing community. A hand that feeds... And tell me you've never screwed up a recording...
As live engineers, we know how much you can get away with but then again you only get one chance to get it right. So...get it right. Someone is always LISTENING.
Certainly that's how I do these mixes, put in the tracks and start mixing them, I don't fiddle around with details much after 1-2 cycles through the song, I record it straight back into reaper. I don't know what could led to the problems of this record as I think there shouldn't be sync issues if you record multitracks in a daw... I use my crappy 10 year old laptop to record 32 tracks of live audio and never got such problems...only the system failing and not recording at all sometimes.
The good thing about live mixing is that you don't have to worry about how it sounds later on someone's soda can. You got your live acts, your mixing desk, your PA, and your audience that you directly connect to and you have to get it right without the possibility to fiddle with the settings afterwards.
