Crucial! 👏 Finally someone is covering this content. Awareness is key when establishing goals for your setup and your journey. Yes, “journey”. 😆 Gear buying is a journey.

Very well done, DavidSJ! I think you're really on point about the committing to sounds bit. That was just how it was done "back in the day," at both the recording and mixing stages, because there wasn't really any other option. With unlimited tracks available and so many good virtual instrument and amp sim options these days, that willingness to commit to a sound has really become a lost art. Boy, that sounds pretty Boomer-ish reading it back, but I stand by it. :)

To be 100% transparent, my first COMPUTER based rig was as described...in the past I also had a Fostex 4-track and a Zoom MRS8, but didn't feel like relating the entire history of my attempts at being a musician who recorded himself...

Hybrid studio setup is the way to go. I only use hardware for tracking, and then plugins for mixing and mastering. Works great for me.

I would like to add though FMR RNC and RNLA are not plugins in a box. They are analogue comressors. They are controlled by software based controllers i.e to . The audio is never converted to AD or DA nor is there a "chip" inside to compress. These are VCA based compressors which are triggered by digital parameters hence the "warm" pure analogue sound :)

Thank you!

Sound advice here and I just went through this process myself. Funny how I did exactly what your tips were. Upgraded my monitors, did room treatment, changed my interface to have some Ins and outs. Then created a mixbus chain. Funny enough, the first thing in the chain is a pair or preamps that have a "big" sonic signature. I went 500 series to create a custom chain using the functionality of the Fusion, silverbullet, and MBP as inspiration. I mixed/expanded the functionality of these boxes. So it goes preamps --> saturation box --> stereo compression --> 4 band EQ --> Stereo Image processing. Its working out really well.

@MixingMusicAnalog Год назад

That's great! Thanks for sharing!!

@axemanfishing2703 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for all the great advice. I watched a similar video of yours on this topic, and it helped me to decide to go ahead and try my hand at hybrid mixing. I record drums in my small home studio, 8 tracks into my saffire pro 40. My mixes are not bad but always seems to be missing that warmths that comes with analogue gear. I get good results using Softube tape and other waves plugins, but just not quite the same. Before going ahead and spending big money, decided to dip my little toe in the deep end. Added a tube preamp.

@axemanfishing2703 6 месяцев назад

After 15 years of mixing in the box, I added a behringer T1953 tube preamp to my Focusrite Saffire pro 40. It has a toroidal transformer used in high end audio gear and was inexpensive and based off what I have heard, it adds nice width, sparkle and warmth. I intend to use it mostly on the masterbuss, BUT I would like to try it when recording drum and run the Kick and Snare through it then into the saffire pro.

@natcoziay 2 года назад

Great video! I'm interested in the preamp to mix bus technique! I never thought of that! How would you set that up? Do you just run the output of the preamp into the bus compressor? Then run the whole mix back through the preamp?

@MixingMusicAnalog 2 года назад

Video coming soon!

@thirdwise Год назад

Really helpful, thanks a lot for this video. I have a question. I have a Neve mono channel. I would like to mix with it, not only track with it. Any thoughts or ideas how I can utilize this, possibly with stereo material too?

@MixingMusicAnalog Год назад

With 1 single mono unit I would not bother mixing with that. You want at least a pair and even then there is a ton of work around to utilize those in a mixing situation.

@thirdwise Год назад

@@MixingMusicAnalog Thanks for replying. I was considering trying to get another one, and then use the two as preamps on the mix bus like you recommended. Why would that be a lot of work? It's a Neve Portico ii Channel.

@major3774 10 месяцев назад

When you use a preamp on your mix bus do you turn the knob (as on the Neve) to line level or do you use mic level? Second question. How much gain do you use on line or mic level?

@MixingMusicAnalog 10 месяцев назад

I'll let DSJ answer this one.

@pulos42 Год назад

Hi David, what kind of a/d converter rig should I run for a 32 channel mixing board. I'm thinking of just stacking berhinger 8i8o converters into an adat to USB interface, but is there a better/more economical option?

@MixingMusicAnalog Год назад

I dont think you will find much more economical than the Berhinger stuff

@EricSauerets Год назад

Is there value in adding outboard preamps to a cheap interface (a Beringer UMC in my case) or would upgrading my interface have a bigger impact?

@MixingMusicAnalog Год назад

Yes adding an outboard preamp will then take place of your inexpensive interface preamp so you will have some better results.

@tubbythump9321 Год назад

How do you get the 2buss line level signal into the preamp since the WA-412 and ART TransX have only mic and hi-z inputs?

@MixingMusicAnalog Год назад

DSJ will have to answer this one

@LouWagner76 Год назад

Do you think the Black Lion Audio Auteur MkIII 2 would work as a preamp on the mixbus?

@MixingMusicAnalog Год назад

I have never heard of that product, sorry

@DavidSJ_DAP Год назад

Yes...

@kidsonicofficial 3 месяца назад

I don't necessarily agree with what David is saying. First of all, having to wait to print the audio isn't necessary nowadays. I use Ableton and there is a device called "External Audio Effect" which enables you to route your audio directly from the daw into the gear and back onto the channel, allowing you to have the hardware act as a plugin. Secondly, this eliminates the need for a patch bay (which for me being visually impaired is a good thing). Most interfaces such as the 18i20 have ADAT in and out which allows for an external preamp (or even an older interface with ADAT) to be used. If you have the outputs of the main interface going into the gear, and then out of the gear into the inputs of the ADAT preamps, you can then just route the audio directly. This is what I will be doing when my setup gets a bit of an upgrade.

I have a Apollo twin, Focusrite ISA One, RNC1773, KlarkTeknik EQ and a dbx 266xs Compressor/Gate can someone help me route it? Thanks a lot 🙌🙌🙌🙌

@MixingMusicAnalog Год назад

Not sure what you mean. Maybe someone in the comments can help?

@SupaMarioJCS 7 месяцев назад

You will need a patchbay to link and inter link one or more processors you have I have the same setup and patchbay gave me opportunities to create custom signal chains to connect

@DavidSJ_DAP 2 года назад

Um...erm...uh...(does he ever inhale?) One thing for sure, I need to work on getting the audio sync'd to the video...but still, not bad for a first try...

@MixingMusicAnalog 2 года назад

its fine

@johntomanio3374 2 года назад

Don't waste your money on budget gear. You will only lose money because later you will want to upgrade it. Save up for pro gear that will last you a lifetime.

@MixingMusicAnalog 2 года назад

Thanks for watching!

@lightafluident.9950 2 года назад

You can buy budget gear, you just can't buy CHEAP gear. There's a difference. There's plenty of budget gear that holds up to gear that cost much much more nowadays.
