In this weeks video I decided to keep it simple.
I put a song in protools, throw it out to the 96 channel Solid State Logic Duality Fuse, patch some gear I don't normally use, and mix the song.
This was such a fun song to do because it is simple and has a killer flute solo at the end! That flute patched into an LA2A and a Bricasti reverb is the perfect combination.
So sit back, listen with headphones or good speakers, and enjoy my friend.
Thanks for watching!

As a bedroom producer I know it's not necessary to buy all these equipment but it sure looks fun to do it the analog way and still getting better dynamics

[@EdmilsonAndrade-nv7jn]

That reverb is one of the best ive ever heard, amazing

[@Studio22mix]

I agree, I’m always looking for a nice reverb and never really satisfied with them. I just don’t have the money for it 😢😅😂 Sounds perfect to me 👌🏼 Maybe I’ll give the LiquidSonics plugin a try.

[@threeeyedtribe]

I've heard that a lot of people like that one!@@Studio22mix

[@JohnZornAscended]

I agree, sounds AMAZING.

[@Ramen_Sensei]

[@nebstaism]

Those Bricasti reverbs sounds so sick

[@therapking7772]

Bro thank you for uploading this

Just going to casually wait here until the VU light on the bottom Tube-Tech gets fixed

[@Bville-E]

Get a LIFE !!!!!

[@Audio_Engineers]

Love your videos man. The type of content that you have to offer honestly is one of a kind. The access and availability that you have to all the gear in that studio is not something that I have ever seen before in the sense of being able to sit down for hours and make videos with all that stuff. Keep it up, your work is appreciated🙏🏼

[@tigersharc1]

I really like watching your videos. This will probably be the closest for me to get inside a studio and see the things that can be done on an SSL console. Please keep these type videos coming, they are much appreciated.

[@JoshWestMix]

Thanks! I really appreciate your kind words. Your support means the world to me!

[@tonkastudio286]

Very cool

[@fjn667]

What a dream studio. This sounds absolutely amazing👌👌👌

[@JoshWestMix]

Glad you like it!

[@HearthrobHeroes]

Little late to the comment party on this video, but Im all in! great video! love to see more of the entire mix videos! How about a mix of a multi layer pop rock song! Your knob turning is off the chart! Keep'm coming! Any chance you can do a gear list of the room? That room is seriously unbelievable!

[@newkey2daworld865]

Love your setup and work, Timeless 🫡

[@MalkiMeansKing]

mix is fire you are a master

[@jdigital1]

Great Stuff, Loved Watching Your Workflow And How The Mix Came Together!

[@JoshWestMix]

Thanks! I really appreciate your kind words.

[@FYEHOUSEMUZIC]

The gear is crazy nice!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just spotted an Eventide too. I'm stealing your racks!

[@anderspaulsen4637]

Damn, I'm subscribing to this. Beautiful mix

[@Studio22mix]

Nice chill song and I like the black tape with the white marker on the console. The Bricasti sounds amazing 👌🏼 My cat really loves this 😻

[@genesogheard]

Just so good ! Love this content

[@JoshWestMix]

Glad you enjoy it!

As someone who grew up with an Amek Angela, I'm jealous.If i win the lottery SSL is my first stop. Fantastic video

[@DavidFlores-xz9wb]

SOUNDS GOOD

[@GloveBunniesVideos]

Very cool, thanks so much!

[@BigLoxxOfficial]

Nice song on a nice console mix !

[@LoveMeBack]

Flute solo is the best part.

[@unsaved6]

what a nice playground, someone had deep pockets…. I wonder what the total cost of the studio build was 😅 it’s nice to see all my plugins in real life 😢

[@Plisken001]

Everyone searching for this song: Banned from the zoo - Turn on me. One of these songs that makes you think you are an audiophile dude running an extraordinary hifi system (even if you don’t) 😂

[@WhyallaDojo]

Dude, love the workflow and the finished mix sounds killer. Echo the reverb comments below - just amazing. Did the artist comment on your tuning choice on the flute solo? That semitone up sounded a bit off to my ears… but again, just great watching you work man. Thanks for posting!

[@JoshWestMix]

Hey thanks so much for your kind words. No this was just a fun mix that I did for the channel. No client listened to it. I honestly wasn’t happy with the tuning choice at all on that haha I kind of just moved on from it and thought it gave it character

[@angermanagementstudios]

Epic studio this is. Beyond the realms of even dreaming for most of us plebs unfortunately. Great mix though man.

[@JoshWestMix]

Thank you so much! Making these videos for you is a blast!

[@larswillsen]

Imagine sitting there man 🙂

[@Elvergudo07]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@donnybristol]

Cool video! Question, do the vocals have hard tuning on them? I hear twirling/phasing sound - was that by design or by accidently going to hard on the tuning? Thanks

[@alfiekelly5914]

Oh wow! Rev 5. I forgot about that. I have 2 and 2 Rev 7's gathering dust. Noisy though. I'll need to dust off the SPX's as well

[@StarWarsinMinuten]

which from all the speakers did you used for the mix ? :)

[@jemwand2530]

Wow Man! Your thumbnail picture looks like you freaked out Trevor Horn three times.

[@shan5445]

Yes made a lot of good decisions in the mix

[@schmuckeprinz]

Nice Content! Whats the Name of he Song? I love it!

[@JoshWestMix]

hanks so much! It is Banned from the Zoo - Turn on Me

[@flugfloh6281]

Awesome stuff! Just a question, what is your decision for which EQ to run on what, and specifically, when do you use the console EQ only, and when do you go for an external one? Thanks man :)

[@JoshWestMix]

Thanks so much and great question! Since I have an SSL EQ on every channel, I primarily rely on those eq’s. I go for an external eq when I want a certain flavor that the SSL doesn’t have. Typically this flavor is for a feature on an important instrument like vocal, snare drum, piano, a featured sound effect, etc. I have gotten so used to the different sounds of the EQ’s in this room that when I start to hear the fader mix come together, I can easily tell which instrument deserves to be used with each outboard eq. Hopefully that makes sense!

[@flugfloh6281]

@@JoshWestMixYes makes perfectly sense thanks :)

[@AudiophoolDeBunkHunter]

Does automation on Duality only record faders and mutes like on a good old 4000 ? or do the sends and eq's are also automated ?

[@ismscsim]

Yeup...cool.

[@claytongregorymixengineer3880]

What does the duality fuse cost? I can’t find any info anywhere…from anybody.

[@MYSTICRED01]

Can anyone tell me the make and model number of the monitors. Bless

[@FYEHOUSEMUZIC]

What monitors were you doing playback for the mix?

[@JoshWestMix]

On this mix I was using the Genelec 1234A’s. They are the big ones mounted in the wall in front of the console. I did switch to the Genelec 1031A’s a few times which are on top of the meter bridge of the console

[@dougleydorite]

I’m curious how you deal with your effects when printing them in, all in one pass vs parenting them into separate tracks and moving them around or processing them retrospectively

[@JoshWestMix]

Since we have so many channels on this console and so much I/O on our converters, I print all effects, all in one pass, and all on their own separate channels. The left side of the console has 24 channels that are always reserved for effect returns. This way we have tons of flexibility between different types of effects that we can use.

[@AudiophoolDeBunkHunter]

37'17" : would have been more logic a semitone lower.

[@JohnZornAscended]

?

[@frederickbaugher8361]

The arpeggio guitar track kills that song. The most obvious thing you could’ve done was to try it on the verses or chorus only.

[@hampsonpaul3531]

Agree

[@tinkletink1403]

lots of buttons to press

[@JohnZornAscended]

That’s good right?

[@tinkletink1403]

@@JohnZornAscended its all about the buttons 🙃

[@Mrpsblobsoflowendmung]

great video but that flute note was a semi tone to high for the scale, doesn't fit the chord , should have been the Bb not the B 😂
