Mix Process: Nashville Tracks! 

More videos like that Sir please, we enjoy it. Great hybrid knowledge video.

Sweet indeed...great post.

Glad to see some else sees the value of using Cubase/Nuendo. You have done a very good job of explaining your process of a hybrid setup.

Seeing good hybrid mix situations is really interesting. THIS is one of the nicest ones I’ve seen. 👍😎👍

i love all the fun toys you have !

Get the smart C1LA, it does everything and really well

🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Cakewalk has - and always did have, back when it was Sonar a decade ago - pre-and-post fader inserts. The now-free DAW has always been ahead of the curve and feature-rich, with all other DAWs still playing catch-up.

Thanks for walking through your workflow. I'm just starting out with my first recordings using a hybrid digital / analog approach (including some reel-to-reel tape just for the fun of it). I can't tell you how much this helps to see how you approach the mix. I still have so much to learn. Hopefully I'll have the chops someday to end up at Hopetown. ps - video was 1080p HD resolution for me, and my old man eyes didn't squint once. Cheers!

Cool video! I’d dig seeing some more of what you do. I have a home studio that I’m recording demos in.🤘

Thank you for your very insightful video of your studio and work process. Your detailed analysis should attract people with home or project studios who want that next level sound and mix that you don't get from a DAW and several pluigs from UAD, Waves, Softube etc. I always have been intrigued by the API The Box 2. I think some think this is the magic needed to make your mixes sound better. However its clear that its the main hub where you add all other hardware gear as well as use the transformers on the output 2 bus. I agree with your insight on using 96 vs 44 for the reasons you outlined. As a side note, I had the SSL X Rack with the 9000 Series EQ's and compressors as well as the SSL 2 bus. When SSL came out with their plug ins initially, I found them not any better than other third party SSL plug ins. However once they updated to their latest 9,000 and 4,000 EQ's, compressors plug ins and their SSL 2 bus with the 4X over sampling with the UC1, it was that good. So good that I sold my X Rack as I could now add the SSL plugs in on every track vs just 4 tracks with the hardware. The difference was only up to 5% difference. I also have 2 of their UF8 controllers. I love the Curve Bender and the DW Fern VT-7 compressor which I did a review of. The Massive Passive is another favorite of mine. You got me interested in sending you tracks on a song and hear what your studio can add to the song. Very nice studio you have and I like very much your work flow. I have the Lexicon PCM 90 plug in. I wonder how different the hardware version is. I wish you all the best with your studio. You have an excellent setup and a workflow that makes sense to get the best of hardware and software.

This was great. Always enjoy your posts. I'll likely be installing The Box early next year. Those H2 19" units have been on my radar, and seeing them as 500s in your Box makes perfect sense. Oh yes... Not sure if it was an oversight, but this is only 360p - kinda squinty for us middle-aged guys! ;) May I humbly request at least a good ol' 720p going forward? Cheers from Toronto!

Thanks a lot for the effort on documenting the process here ! What a cool setup you have 😍 ! I might have missed it, I remember you talked about recall but how do you deal with recalling your final mix if the artists wants more or less of something ? Do you actually print stems or recall every piece of gear ? I'm expending my setup and starting to work with a console and cool compressors/EQ's but recall seems to be the biggest issue I'm working on already :D You're definitely an inspiration and watching your videos pushed me to go that route 🙌!

I Have the SSL Bus+ on my master bus. I highly recommend trying it before making any decisions.

I'm sorry if i missed this - but what interface are you using between your CPU and The Box2? Seems like you need 24 channels of simultaneous output from your i/o device? Is that db25, ADAT and 1/4" outputs? Thanks for your explanation, and I appreciate your effort!

What levels do record into the DAW and what mix bus levels do you aim for??thanks
