Have you quit using your analog mixing console?

I'm in the same boat as richie and ivan. I started with a beautiful sounding 24ch console (which I still have :-o), then moved to a cleanish 16ch summing console (with Haufe transformers in the master channel) and for about half a year I'm ITB (with occasional hardware inserts). Reason 1: Nebula. When I want a coloured mix, I use coloured line-in, preamp, "mojo", eq programs. When I want clean, I use clean programs (even if it's not recorded clean, mind you. It works!). When I want both, I use both varieties. On top: getting rid of the consoles gave me the space for setting up my beloved synths and organs permanently. Reason 2: recall. I work on many projects more or less simultaneously. It's impossible to keep track of the settings without spending hours to recreate every channel's inserts, EQ and gain. In my case, the ITB workflow is MUCH faster. Reason 3: maintenance. I had too much downtime and costs due to units being faulty / at the repair shop. Even units that came back from regular servicing started to act up 3 months later. Annoying, if you ask me.

I use a board at the studio where I work. We have a Soundcraft 8000 and numerous mic preamps (a rack of Universal Audio 1008a preamps!). We are set up for Reaper, Pro Tools, 24-track analog and 16-track analog. At home, I was using an old 24 channel Studiomaster board, but not very often. I really liked the preamps, and did enjoy mixing through the console at times. However, 90% of my work was in the box. Now I have a Mackie Onyx 1640i, and it's the perfect blend of the two worlds. The preamps are super clean, so Ill probably get some more outboard preamps soon. Overall though, it's a great workflow for me.

I also switched to ITB. My biggest concern was replacing the synths, but the the change itself as boost to my muscianship. And do not forget the absence of cables (except for guitar and mic), that alone is a big win.

In the Box 

I haven't used a console since the late 90s. I don't miss it, althought I do miss having a patchbay sometimes. I kind of liked creating different wiring configurations for different hardwares. But now I don't use any hardwares at all. There's not much to miss. If you do quit using your console, maybe you could sell it for a decent price on Reverb.com or whatnot.

I haven't had any experience owning yet, but planning to buy an analog discrete console for recording (and summing). Hopefully, very soon. I believe it would be a perfect match for my current digital setup, a wonderful hybrid sonic production setup. When the time comes, i shall burn the boat on the shore, and continue the march :)

I still find a mixer to be indispensable. I could probably plug everything directly into the computer and monitor/route it all ITB, but then I'd have to have the computer on any time I wanted to do anything and that would suck.
