I really don't like mixing on the computer, especially electronic music, which ends up sounding flat and synthetic no matter how many fancy plugins I use. Instead, I mix all of the parts live through an #analog #mixing board to create changes, transitions, breakdowns and effects throws with a human feel. Most of these are improvised, but there are some changes that are built into the track that I to not mess up too badly. I then do a final edit/mix/master in #reaper to tidy up any mistakes I made and to generally tighten things up.
I don't use the master mix on the board. Instead, each channel/part runs out from Reaper into individual channels on an Allen & Heath GL2200 for EQ and volume control, and then runs line-out to an analog #compressor before returning to reaper. This gives me enough analog control over every aspect of a track to make something that sounds professional but still has a bit of analog edge.
