ANALOG SORCERY for Mixing & Mastering: Spacecraft On The Moon Mathew Lane Spatial Processor 🤯🔥

Incredible machine that Mathew Lane made here. He is such a nice guy, he made a custom made volume control unit "ARIANE on the moon" for my studio to control all 10 speakers at the same time and position the volume for each individual speaker.

[@gwsound]

I have a test unit in my studio right now. First impression...love it.

[@foresthillstudio]

This unit is REALLY Amazing... Now I have to get one! My Hybrid Mixing Setup... I record into the DAW (Studio One Pro 5) essentially using the DAW as my multitrack recorder(I can apply whatever preamps/compressors/EQ on the way in). I apply whatever plug-in effects I want in the DAW and mix... I then make 16 stereo Bus channels in the DAW and route the DAW tracks to them and send the busses out (via Antelope Goliath 32HD interface outputs) to 32 input channels of my Soundcraft Ghost Mixing Console (All of the Ghost channels are set at unity gain and the channel faders are at zero...since the mix levels come from the DAW busses, the console never changes making recall a breeze). On the Ghost, I route the 32 channels coming into the console to the console's 8 group busses as stereo pairs (Drums/Perc - Guitars/Bass - Instruments - Vocals) Each console group has an insert, so I can apply any outboard gear to each bus as I choose... the group busses on the console then feed the console Master Bus (which also has an insert). I route the Master Bus output from the console to my mastering chain (SSL Fusion with Neve MBP on the insert of the Fusion and then send the Fusion Output to a pair of Warm Audio EQP-WA's... After everything is adjusted to my liking I print the output of the mastering chain by sending it all back into the DAW and recording a stereo print track in the DAW. A little complicated but I get all the convenience of the DAW and all the analog goodness of the console and mastering chain without having to worry about recalling hundreds of console settings. This is what works for me,,, Any thoughts and comments would be appreciated!

[@cao77]

Wow! Really impressed. Even on extreme settings it sounds so natural. Not phasey and weird as regular M/S processors.

[@casimirdekkers-newtrackout691]

When you said at 3:19 "I can only monitor the sides" I could still follow the song pretty well on my (mono)tablet...I know because of the filters and because it's hardware that it's probably 'crosstalk' but I'm not sure what's acceptable...?(As in possible faulty unit). Maybe I'm just nitpicking... I love your gear and sound. Mid-side processing has something really magical.

Holy fff....! I'm usually not that type of "hype" person with audio gear. Feels like too often we all hype up too much about suttle things and spend more money than we really have to to get stuff sounding great. But this thing is indeed a game changer. Jeeezzz I want one!

[@definty]

I would to see what it does to the phase correlation meter.

[@1972OGTony]

I watched the whole video thru my RME DIGICheck Totalyser the correlation meter never goes past (0) except when he hits the side button which is suppose to happen. The mono tracks all stayed correct never even getting close to (0) as the mono field gained width but the original audio in slanted to the right and not straight mono. So much depth achieved while staying correct in correlation makes this unit impressive imo.

A dry wet would have been handy for using it on single channels. So you hear only what the unit is doing to print the effect to be able to remove it later if need be in the mixing stage

Hi Dave, great video/demonstration as usual. How would you describe this unit compared to the SSL Fusion? will you keep just one or keep both? I'm in the middle of buying the SSL Fusion, but this dropped my jaw :)

[@mixbustv]

I gave a pretty long comparison in one other comment here asking the same, should be easy to find

[@lmpcrew]

This is fire 🔥💣🔥💣

[@lukeneptune3820]

Hi David. How does the Side section of this compare with the Stereo Image section of the SSL Fusion? Are there situations where you may choose one over the other and if so could you explain please? Also can you get good results using both or can that be overkill? I own a Fusion but this thing has got me gassed up so your feedback would be super appreciated. Thanks!

[@mixbustv]

Yes indeed, at first I was thinking "I'll never use the SSL stereo section anymore" but I was wrong, they're quite different. SSL space and width are band limited, the space only acts on the low mids, width from a certain freq and up (this alone you can replicate with the Spacecraft by cutting the low end when using the vari width alone, yet, the filters are different so they still sound different). SSL is more heavy handed, Spacecraft is a lot more precise and transparent in its action but sometimes you do want that over the top effect, it works for certain tracks. SSL is just one knob turn, if it works you know instantly, Spacecraft is a mastering grade unit with very precise controls, big swings still have subtle effect so you can really tweak to perfection. That of course is basically only for the vari-width because SSL (or any other machine) can't do all the other processes the Spacecraft does. And no, you won't combine the two ever, that's a free ticket for phase disaster city

Yes and no, it's in insert in the Fusion along with the SP PQ, Wes Mastering comp, then Spacecraft, back into fusion, so depending how I route the Fusion the last stage before AD+ is either it's output (usually) or one of the processors in it then output

you mean obsolete? The word would be redundant anyway, but no, first of all fusion has 4 processors, and second the SC doesn't do what the image section of the fusion does (especially the space knob) and vice versa. But also the SC is not really a unit you'd use for mixing all the time
