Acoustic Mix - Part 2 (FINAL) - in UAD's LUNA (with free files) 

Cheers!

Thanks! Hope you stay healthy too!!

Hahah, yeah it feel weird to cut that much for sure! There were some real problem frequencies down there though that I just had to get rid of. Cheers!

It is so amazing. Took me a long time to warm up to it, but once I stopped over-thinking it, I fell in love with the room sound and how easy it is to set up. I pretty much send everything to it and adjust on the channel's send if there's too much. Cheers!

Right on! Glad you dig the videos! Cheers!

There's a bit of panning, but this genre tends to sound better (to me) as if it's recorded live in a tight group setup. If you can imagine standing in front of a small group of people playing this, there wouldn't be too much extreme panning to the natural sound so I've left it at that. I probably should have panned the violin a little bit to the left or right, but it never struck me as sounding odd coming from the center. Take care!

Sure - I think I went through them in the first video, but as I recall, it was like this: Bass: Electrovoice RE20 through Unison V76 pre Dobro: Neumann TLM102 and external 1073 preamp Acoustic Rhythm 1: Neumann TLM102 external 1073 pre Acoustic Rhythm 2: Handmade Telefunken style tube mic (I made this mic a few years ago) and I used the Unison Neve 1073 Violin: Shure KSM32 into Unison V76 Lead guitar: Telefunken 251 through external 1073 The little Neumann TLM102 is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. I highly recommend those mics to folks as a stellar all-rounder microphone. Much more pleasing sounding that the TLM103, and I much prefer it to the ubiquitous U87ai which I always found too harsh.

Thank you for sharing!

I typically use a Mix Bus in Logic and Pro Tools, so it's really just a hold-over from using those DAWs; but it also gives me complete control over the output to my monitors without worrying whether the fader is controlling the input or output of the channel. I hope that makes sense. Basically it's just habit, but also allows to raise/lower the output volume without messing with any section of the gain-stage to the mix bus processing. Cheers!
