Well that's what the Midas is for, isn't it? Analog summing. Nothing like it. Can't afford the API units for the price of the Mackie.
psyl, you'd do well to take a look and find what Rupert Neve has to say about digital recording, and its effects on humanity, seriously.
As far as moving forward with just analog equipment....people do it every day. Digital stuff is all calculations and limited by the imaginations of the people that conceive them. Analog is the capturing and directing of physical properties of nature, and refining them. Nature and the power of it are infinately greater, faster, and more sublime than our minds or egos.

Besides, when was it ever about being behind or ahead? You think the constantly increasing sophistication of technology is going to make the quality of composition and performance better? All the technologically advanced equipment in the world are no match for a pair of good ears, and a creative heart, leaping ahead, falling behind, or otherwise.
