Skip the daw and use a 2” multitrack and mix PURE analog ❤

[@officialWWM]

That’s fine, as long you can mix quickly and don’t plan to come back to the same song again later.

[@AllenMichael]

You can always go back with recall sheets :)

[@djannias]

Appreciate the perspectives

[@officialWWM]

Thi biggest issue with analog mixing (for me) is not being able to instantly recall a mix. I’m constantly jumping backwards and forwards between projects and songs and when I shifted to digital, I was more than happy to leave all that analog stuff behind. I now mix on a Presonus Studiolive 32 channel mixer with Studio One. It’s the perfect hybrid setup for me. I still have an analog input chain but that’s it for me. :)

If you’re just turning down vocals, just put the old mix in your daw, reverse the the phase of the vocal track and mix it in until the vocals sit right, 💁🏼‍♂️

[@marcgolde]

Yes, in theory. But I'm compressing with a hardware unit outside the box. Just flipping phase and blending it doesn't follow the dynamics of the processing or effects I used. Trust me, I've tried this many times and never got a usable result.

Can you bounce the stems and recall it at 0?

What is the console?

[@DavidMorley]

It's a custom desk by Aengus with API preamps according to their website.
