Console or outboard?
@iengineer_2472 ай бұрын
I want to use outboard gear. Consoles are cool yet bulky. I do a lot of mobile recording. I love analog preamps mainly like SSL and Cranborne Audio and Neve. I like the fact you mix up preamps via 500 series. I want to set up like this and get a faderport as a setup I will be good to go!!! The 500 stuff saves a lot of space and easier to get around with!!!

I'm using a Cranborne Audio 500R8 lunchbox which also contains volume and pan controls for each of the 8x 500 modules, so it includes a summing mixer in 4U (and also works as an audio interface). I also use a 1U Speck.Xsum summing mixer for 16 stereo channels as that's more suited for my synth setup. I'm thinking of getting the After Audio Bartender & Barback eurorack modules as I'm sometimes missing large faders and you can put 16 stereo channels with faders into a 3U rack space (and even remote control them via CV or a MIDI to CV converter). So all in all, this would get me 32 stereo and 8 mono channels in 8U rack space ... try to beat that with a console 😏

Bro you have 3 lunch boxes thats 30 channels. You basicly built a console!

Sound Skuptor have one of the best preamps available. They’re awesome.

I do a hybrid mixture of a small mixer and seperate preamps to an Alesis HD 24XR for band tracking then transer to mixing in the box. Thanks for the tour!

I worked for 4 years in a studio where there was a console. I never used it for mixing, It takes a lot of time to route all the channels and its cumbersome (almost impossible) to recall. You need to move your head a lot and leave the sweet spot. Furthermore, it messes up the freq response of your speakers. But on tracking it's awesome!, it's saves a lot of time. Eq on every channel on the way in gives huge cumulative effect on performance, because musicians happy with there headphones mixes. And the most important: console is fun to play with.

I started my studio more than 30 years ago recording onto multitrack tape with a console I used for tracking and mixing. I now mix entirely in the box but I still have a 24-channel console I use for big tracking sessions, along with extra mic preamps. The pres in the console are FET and fast with lots of headroom, great for drums, while my outboard pres include Neve-style and tube ones, great for everything else. I also have a rack with analog compressors & limiters, some of which I've had for decades and that I know and love. My console has six aux sends that I use to create different headphones mixes for each musician. This setup is for me the best of both worlds - I get great analog sounds before I go into the DAW, after that I can use all the power and flexibility of digital processing for editing, mixing and mastering. I love it

What console is it?
@fullmixstudio45852 ай бұрын
Very interesting video, thank you. Initially I thought that a mixing console was more interesting for recording than for mixing, but you proved that even for recording it's not really necessary anymore. And you have a very cool studio, even with the instruments "mess", it's very warm and welcoming!

my boss still clings to his SSL. but it's more about speed than sound for him. out of the other 3 engineers here. nobody would get an analogue console anymore.

Started watching this video without knowing who you are, and for my surprise, Tides of Nebula is one of my all time favourite post-rock bands. Thanks for this very informative video and for the music you've been making all these years.
@davidchurch88282 ай бұрын
Great video. You make some excellent points. It's like you have several consoles because sound is still running through preamps, eq and compressors like a console, yours is more modular ( like Ikea).

I'm finally out of the box. My DAW is essentially a 16 track tape deck... with of course the digital track benefits :) Would I return to tape? Unlikely no given the192KHz interfaces, but possibly for sentimental reasons. BTW, both BetterMaker and WesAudio are core components in my analog environment.
@copetill78962 ай бұрын
The TFN stuff sounds phenomenal. I worked on a few sessions in the '90s where engineers would bring in preamps & send them straight into the tape machine. I started getting CAPI's 14 years ago & ditched my console. Consoles are great but very expensive to maintain.

@GotGearMate2 ай бұрын
I havent used a mixer of any sort in about 10 years. I would argue the smaller ones (8 channels or less) are better as you can pick them up, move them to the sound source and multi-mic/submix right there.
@FredF78Ай бұрын
The lunchboxes contain the same electronics as inside a deck that gives the tone so you simply loose the faders and the analog summing when mixing in the box? Then the converters are the big spenditure instead of the deck? I mean, there is no free lunch...

Ironically I went for a console because itb exclusive mixing and recording was destroying my wrist and elbow, and if you're good with a soldering iron and look for deals you can get some cool stuff. I got a $30,000 USD console for $300 bucks in basically completely dead condition and after extensive cleaning it is full functional and now I'm replacing all the faders while a much better tech is modifying the master section. By the end I'll be probably about 2 grand into it including acquiring spare channels. Its definitely not for everyone, and i don't think consoles are necessary at all anymore. But when i see some people who have 24+ of the same preamps, tons of the same outboard eq, and have an Uber expensive monitor controller and summing mixer I kinda chuckle and wonder why they just didn't get an audient console or something similar, since the price would sometimes be less and those 4816s are not very physically large or use a lot of power.

Nice equipment and studio but If you got 12 musicians and 4 singers in the studio how do you set up a 16 channel monitor mix? You need some way to send monitor mixes to the musicians while tracking even if it's with a cheap Mackie or Behringer mixer. Seems like that would be a real pain trying to do monitor mixes in the computer but some people are fast with a mouse I guess.. Union scale musicians don't ever want to wait on an engineer and they work incredibly fast. Of course if you only record a couple people at once with no time restraints I guess all you need is a small audio interface.

I think the title should read 'Why we don't need a mixing desk'. Don't tell others what they need or don't need based on your own needs. That's illogical.

Its illogical to police the speech of others because of how a small demographic of the public might perceive and be affected mentally by the wording of a clickbait KZbin title

No, it's not. A small demographic in the youtube universe of 2.70 billion monthly subscribers (2024) could still affect thousands. It would only be illogical to police something that didn't affect anyone or anything. Nice try, tho.

Logical coherence isn't determined by the number of people impacted, that's a logical fallacy. KZbin has more than 2.70 billion monthly active users, a small demographic could be 100.000+ users. But that's beside the point, the 'you don't need x'-videos need to be buried as they make no sense. They're also exclusively made by people who can't afford what they tell you you don't need. No surprise there. LOL.
