ahhh, when i see and hear mitch, then i feel me a thousand times better. Mitch has an charisma, it´s so unique

The absolute best tutorials on RU-vid, so simple and explained so well!

I can't THANK YOU ENOUGH for this video. Sweetwater is THE BEST!

If you want to do this in Logic Pro, the I/O plug-in is the equivalent. There is a video from MusicTechHelpGuy on how to use it.

Great video and very informative. Just to add for people looking at the summing option at the end, and unless I’m mistaken, you need to then route the stereo mix back into you daw via your interface if you want to record your mix or just hear what is being output from your console / summing mixer (unless you have speakers plugged directly into your console / summing mixer).

Thank you Sweetwater for this instructional video! I really appreciate it and Sweetwater!

It's like y'all read your customers' minds! 👏🏾

Super useful, Thanks! I'm a pure software guy, It's sometimes cool to see how to connect some real hardware.

That was another great informative tutorial of using hardware. I just purchased a 5008R using it with Motu UltraLite-mk5 TOS link 8 digital I/O. The 5008R is the master link wasn't difficult to install make use of those digital ports you all ready have for better recording quality audio.

Just doing this atm. A Mac Pro, digidesign control24 two hd192's and some 500 rack unit pieces.

Great. Very detailed tutorial. Thanks a bunch

Just purchased the Shelford channel from you guys... Awesome, exceptional service as a company.

The rectangle on the 500 series rack unit hits the corner at 00:26

Thanks for this awesome video!! Sweetwater is the best!

Thanks for making this so easy, without all of the fluff and backstory nonsense.

Great video Mitch! Thank you.

We just recorded an entire album with the XAir 32 and Mac/GarageBand for free…turned out pretty excellent and cost nothing!

Thanks for the awesome video! 👌

Very nice and useful video. Thanks a lot!

thanks yall this is some great info!

Mitch is the best

Excellent info Mitch

Very good video. Wanted to add "the other way around" trick. You can add a plugin from your DAW INTO a hardware mixer. I use it for instance when I want to have a nice effects plugin on my analog Mackie 8-bus mixers aux sends. I go from analog mixers aux send 1 to the plugin in my DAW and the output of my plugin back to aux return of my analog mixer. That way, I can also automate effects and add whatever effect type you like without having to buy the hardware version of it. ALSO, that way, I can have ANY plugin clone of hardware I will never be able to buy as hardware, but use the plug-in instead. Of-course, also works on the analog mixers inserts of each channel, the 8-bus channels or the master out. The options become endless... Have fun

Game changer!

Great video! Thanks for reading my mind!!

Thanks Mitch you are the best. Tod in Vegas

a great tip thanks

Would love to see a video like this but with an Apollo x8p and Pro Tools. Thanks!

Thanks Mitch.

Thankyou Mitch :)

Great video. 😃👍♥️

Never tried these methods. Excellent video!

Thanks mitch from Jamaica bro

Great intro!

So good

Awesome thanks

I’m looking to get into some 500. RND10 with API 529, the AMS reverb you had for starters 🤤

Super 👌, thanks sir

thx!

Awesome

thank you..I have a list of gear to set up. I bought the Polyend Tracker from you recently,yet I have yet to use it with any other gear.I am shopping for a keyboard workstation like the Fantom or Kurzweil.keyboard stand.mic stand..condensor mic..

I don't know how useful this is for people not using Presonus Studio One. Would have been nice to have the video title reflect that.

I'm strictly an in the box guy because money, but damn the 500 series stuff is soooo cool.

Thank you sir, how possible would it be to do a similar video with LUNA and Apollos? 👏🏻👋🏼

i may not need my la2a ,wa1073, tone beast warm audio units but i sure like them

I'd love to see how one would setup Ableton with a large format analog mix console. Can't find anything online concerning it.

Maybe a video on outboard gear with Multitrack mixer/recorders ie:Tascam Model24?

Question..When you have a mono compressor, would you use a TRS or a TS plugg In the sends and return i wonder ...thanks

but what if you wanna use the same gear on a different track with a different setting? And what about when you close an unfinished session, make another, then come back to the previous one, how would you remember all the settings for that particular project? you have to write it down? Srry thats allot of questions 😅

❤❤❤

Awesome. Which is the best DAW? I only use GarageBand now but I’m not sure which one like ProTools or Logic?

Would you typically have a separate interface for recording and one for routing analog gear and switch between the two in your daw?

Informative! The other hybrid setup is using Access Analog’s analog hardware over cloud technology!!! Most cost effective and more!

Waiting for the engineers at UA to incorporate Pipeline-like functionality into LUNA. Doesn’t appear to be a high priority though 🤔

Would you have this outboard gear connected when tracking too? Or just for mixing??

Can you do a hybrid workflow video for Cubase?

The silver fox strikes again.

I am just starting to look at Nuendo 12. Should I assume it also has this "pipeline" functionality?

A patchbay sure makes doing this easier.

Mitch is a guy you can trust. Kinda like Walter Conkrite only in the truth of the audio world.

I have a question!!!! Say you EQ the kick like you did on the video and then you want to EQ the snare with the same SSL EQ. Wouldn't it change how the kick was equed? Do you need to print the eq on the kick?

Can you please add the ableton guide too?

Hi. I have studio one and external hardware and a patchbay. I can’t make pipeline work. Somebody can help?

Can we get one for Bitwig as well, please. :)

i want a built lunchbox no link for that

😊😊😊👌👌👌👍👍👍

7:21 that's what she said

I want to know how much that rig cost? the hardwear only

Hopefully Boyd your listening to Mitch smiling.

Hmmm. No subscription model you say? Lol jk but I definitely will be utilizing this method

Y dont you show how to do with cubase ?

Lord Mitch he hasn't even installed that dang Presonusphere yet smh

Yep let me just pull thousands of dollars out me bum to buy hardware and cables when a plugin does the same thing

He is chasing co eds again lol smiling

First

She was cute we'll done Boyd hehehehe
