Congratulations David on your new console & happy to see you’re going to integrate it with Studio One. I’m excited to hear some of your new mixes in the near future. As a Studio one & UA hardware user myself, I appreciate how you explained all the the hookups. Keep up the great work.

Wow congratulations. What a dream. Amazing to watch you go from 100 percent mixing in the box to an SSL Console. I started buying more and more hardware like you and I think I am headed in the same direction. 😆

Thanks James. Well, if you have any questions as you move forward into the world of hybrid, let me know. I will help if I can :)

[@dab7963]

@@MixingMusicAnalog Thanks so much. I bought 2 warm wa76 units, A WA273-EQ and a Audio Bus Comp and a Pure 2 AD/DA and an Apollo 8 and now have my eye on a SSL Fusion Unit. I has additonal UAD satellite units too and updated my Apollo 8 to Thunderbolt 3. I am slowly being sucked into the analouge hardware world. LOL Something about the way it sounds. Plugins are amazing but Hardware is so different. You seem to get there faster with Hardware. Thanks and again congratulations on that amazing unit. I will you many years of happy mixing

Awesomeness, $50k its worth it ,better than a Cyber truck, love that ssL sound. You might consider a 500 rack in there so you could get neve 1073s and have the best of both worlds.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

That's a good idea. I do have a 500 series rack in the "side rack" but I may move that to the center section at one point.

[@LossLeadas]

Colors are very important to identify what connects with what. and this is why I just use the SSL2 and SSL in reason daw because of not stretching and reaching all over the place to tweak anything. But this board looks, beautiful man.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Thank you very much!

[@theway3058]

I’m racking my brain trying to think if my ssl 9 k was labeled in the back. I want to say maybe it wasn’t and one of my engineers had to label it. Would be nice if was labeled tho. Really cool console. Have fun.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Thank you sir!!

[@frankthetank9396]

Hi David, I like your new channel. You are doing exactly what I was planning to do - but with a cheaper analog mixing desk, like soundcraft or allen&heath as the SSL is beyond my budget. But seeing you, how you are integrating the analog desk in your DAW, especially Studio One is very interesting and will help me in my decisions. Great work, David. Looking forward to your next videos.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Thanks Frank! I hope I can help you in the near future!

Why not put the two ssl controllers onto a purpose build sidecar trolley that you roll in or out when needed? A little bit like the old remote controls for the Studer 24 track etc ...would look quite swish.

No sorry

[@dspoet1]

Nice setup. What kind of tv/monitor do you have. I've been looking for something bigger.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

It's just a TCL 55" I picked up on Amazon for about $400. Works really well.

[@theway3058]

What about using a small monitor in the bucket above the master section. Or are you comfortable with seeing the big monitor that’s behind the meter bridge. I keep all my stereo compressor in the racks because I have so many. My others compressors would get jealous if I separated one of them and put it in the console.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

I need the big screen as I am getting old and cant see....LOL

[@foresthillstudio]

Having the same Console and planning my install, I'm VERY Interested in how you plan to integrate your subwoofer into the system... By the way, I had decided that the single faderport was the way to go also instead of the UF-8

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

My Focal sub is installed that same way it was before I had the console. Its connected to my Focal Solo Be6 near-feilds.

[@kirk854]

Why don't you get a small little roller desk for the two extra little ssl units, so you can roll it in and out when you need them?

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

I am considering that as well

You could have just laid the uf8 in the rack unit and have it removable so you can lift it out when you need it. Look great

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Yep, this video is almost 2 years old

[@JoelBouchillon]

@ 9:24. I think I might know how to solve your Master Section/UF8 dilemma. You need to build some sort of custom “lazy Susan” that only spins 180 degrees. You either spin the lazy Susan to access the controls on the Master Section or spin it 180 degrees to access the faders one the UF8.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Nice concept!

[@bramrutten7957]

Really helpful thankyou🙌🏻

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Happy to help!

[@trv503]

Looking forward to hearing what this console sounds like. I'm a user and subscriber of Plugin-Alliance's SSL plugins and to me, they are pretty great sounding. Side note: I test drove the BB 105N in my other DAW FL Studio and the CPU usage was high. I was hoping that it was due to the 48k rate I used in FL. I normally use 44k in FL. Then, I tested it in Studio One Ver5.x by creating 20 empty tracks at 48k and the CPU usage was high as well.....It's a great sounding channel strip, but too heavy on the CPU as I've read on other YT video comments. Anyway, keep going on your new journey. I'm a keys player, so let me know if you need some keys on anything your working on...

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Thanks Troy!

[@joesalyers]

I have been using the 2 Presonus Quantum 4848s with my console (Soundcraft MH2) I wish my desk was laid out with DB25s like the Origin. I was using 2 Apollo 16s Gen 2 but after I saw that 1 Quantum 4848 could give me the same i/o as 2 Apollo 16s I sold the 16s and bought Satellites instead. I CAN'T WAIT for your full review if the workflow is nice I will probably pick up an origin myself. Have you thought about putting a small pull out drawer under the master section of the Origin for your midi controllers? Similar to something like a keyboard drawer on a producer desk?

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

I have not considering drilling and holes in the console quite yet. LOL

[@richiefamus8778]

Congrats on the new console! Hey what about just putting some type of pull-out tray under the bottom of the console? Then you can have your controllers in the sweet spot, and only pull them out when you need them?

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Yea, a few others have said the same thing. I need to look under the console and see if there is a place for me to drill holes with out damaging any electronics inside the console.

[@Doctaj54]

I was thinking about a pull-out tray. A rolling side cart/desk with a 2nd screen might be nice if you had the space on the side of the console. It would have been really nice if the SSL UC1 had one built-in fader.

[@JeanmarkRodriguez]

Hope one day I can have one in my studio 🔥🙌🏼 recently got the SSLSix in my studio and love it. I use it for recording and summing. Plus I use the monitor control section all the time.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

I wish you luck. The Origin is the first analog console that was in reach for me from a price perspective. Most other consoles with this many channels and preamps are 2 times the price

[@DJKeiofficial]

[@elruso7524]

Have you figured out how are you going to make the recalls? Are you going to print every channel post process into a new layer in studio one? Perhaps a video on that? Thanks!

Can you compare the Harrison 7 mixbus 32c DAW console which emulates a real console with the SSL real console and check if there's a difference in sound like you did in your last video no processing just printed sound

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

no, sorry. I dont own the harrsion mixbus and have no plans to do such a thing

[@thegreenguy8837]

Regarding your issue with the uf 8 or the other ssl controller there is swing-out mounts for racks that essentially would allow you to mount the uf 8 and just swing it up/fold it out to use it, therefore shortening the required armlenght to reach it.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Really? Can you point me in the direction of that product please? That sounds like something I need to look at for sure. Thanks for the tip!

[@chris-rb7bm]

NICE! :) I have a 8 ssl x-racks! I really like the e-series though and in the future might invest in this and use my x-rack dynamics. Looks great! Bit annoying that no labels on rear - that would have really annoyed me! well done with the stickers looks great :) For such a cool desk I reckon you need lovely speakers. :) I got the KII Three speakers ! but yet to set them up. yea try the faderport 1 fader as you say. Nice desk! or perhaps a small wheely table (glass round on wheels on metal frame or something, to go under the desk with your midi controllers etc I really wish SSL did it with dynamics built in on every channel! maybe next time. They could re-release the g series that would be awesome! (I've only ever used plugs for that but I would get one if they updated it to be maintenance hassle free. Good choice! It really looks good! I reckon if you watch a movie there you should cover the desk so you don't just stare at it like me and my xracks lol and also keeps it dust free. ebay might do a custom cover im sure someone does one! :) If you could afford it I think get hardware dynamics for the channels, either 500 series black dynamics or whatever, will make it a lot better. in desk rack space I suppose fusion above master section and above uad at far top, with a side rack of 500 series ssl dynamic or . cool :)

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Thanks! I do use Focal Sol BE6 near-feilds with the Focal 11 in sub and they sound fantastic! I have been using that setup for 7 years so I am very familiar with the sound. That is why when I first ran raw audio through the board I noticed a sonic difference that when I was totally in the box. I heard it right away. I already have a nice cover for the console and use it when the desk is not begin used. I can not afford another $30K in the SSL dynamics for every channel. Thats what it would cost so for now I'll use their SSL native channel strip in the box for the light compression and the rest of my compression will be on the 8 busses with hardware. Maybe down the road I can get a few 500 series dynamics, 1 at a time. Will see..

Congratulations on getting an AWESOME console. I'm curious about if you'll keep your SSL clone buss compressor (Dione???) now that you have the actual thing. You could maybe sell a few things and get another UA Apollo to have a 24-track studio. :) Just watched your video where you talk about your new racks and saw that you have TWO Apollo X16s - you've got it covered. Great studio. It will be fun to see how you expand it with outboard gear over time.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

For now I'll keep the DIONE as a group bus compressor possibly. There could be a point where I would sell it if I really don't need it

Something to think about. I have over 150 songs or beats on my hard drive that I just pull up when needed in Studio One & everything is set the same way I left it. I can't imagine looking at a pictures I took of each fader & eqs on the SSL console & doing them all over everytime I recall a song. It'll get tiresome overtime for me

[@ToniJXN]

Maybe the behringer x touch one could be interesting for your automation. Doesn't take so much space and got more functions than the faderport

[@NoQualmsTheArtist]

Personally I would put the 2 controllers on a side cart. Moving things around when you need them is inconvenient and you won't use them. I would move the master section up 2 Ru and put the Fusion right in front of you in the first slot. To have an SSL console one day is the dream, but personally I would go with a Duality it suits my workflow more than the Origin. I use a 40 channel Soundcraft Spirit at the moment that I use with Studio One, but one day I'll have an SSL 🤔

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

The Fusion wont fit in the center section at all. Turns out, it's too deep of a unit so it will sit in the rack for now. I tried the master section to the top and its too long of a reach so I am going to leave it where it is for now. Although I am going to try all kinds of different things to find what feels most comfortable. Thank for the support
