Vankarius Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Allright guys! It feels like these days in the digital age is a good time to ask who is mixing completely in the box, no external mixer but the logic mixer... Please join the poll Cheers, Vank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 who is mixing completely in the box, no external mixer but the logic mixer... Vank Hey VANK! Does "in the box" include LOGIC CONTROL? That's what I'm using It's still Logic's mixer I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantomimeHorse Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Definitely soft mixing all the way, here, Vank ! ! ! ! We DO use the Soundcraft, but only to get the levels/EQ/etc of racked hardware sources right before they get into a Logic audio track. Also, outboard EQ and some mics also go through it on occasions. But, the mixdown is always in Logic (as it was in Cubase), and with as much automation as we can achieve. Mastering is done in DSP-Quattro/Ozone/WaveArts as a separate job. (The daft vote was mine, btw ! ! ! ! ) 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 For most work you can do everything in the box nowadays. I've heard mixes done both in Logic and ProTools, all in the box, and they sounded amazing. It's the mixer who makes all the difference. If you mix yourself, you can probably make a 0.5% difference by changing the tools you use, but you will make a 99.5% difference by keeping at it, listening closer, trying harder, and keeping improving your skills.

pantomimeHorse Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Words of wisdom from David. 99% of what makes a mix happen takes place in that short bit of chemical cable that links your ears up to your brain.

Darren Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Completely in the box... although I'm thinking about some outboard mixer motorized faders... anyone make some suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I mix almost in the box I don't use any outboard mixers or effects but I tend to sum all tracks into the final stereo file routing them internally to my fireface and then back to Logic. The result is clearly audioble and more open than if I would make it in Logic. Cheers. /Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantomimeHorse Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 .........routing them internally to my fireface and then back to Logic........... Interesting, Eric. So, you just digitally re-record the D/A output of your Fireface and it sounds better ? Without any other treatment in the analog domain ? Yes ?

No Everything will be treated digitally but inside the fireface. RME's totalmix offers you this option... I think it works at 48bit floating point but I'm not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipperman Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I love to mix records... Pretty much all I do these days... I usually mix on a pretty big analog desk with a whole boatload of crazy analog outboard gear. Speaking strictly for myself, I am unable to even remotely approach the speed and sonics using any other system available to me. Doesn't stop me from trying on a regular basis. It's all good. Just a question of what suits yer methodologies and expectations. Best to all, Tim "Rumblefish" Gilles PS. Just for the record... I source everything from Logic and do a ton of stuff in the box(Like automated Eqing and Dessing, a slew of wacky ESX stuff, plugs and treatments of all sorts), I just prefer the desk summing, the analog outboard and the speed of working on a LFAC over anything else.

sona Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 So i'm LOVING recording 24/96 with the Fireface 800, but my 16/44.1 bounces obviously lose that incredible airy depth and detail and warmth. for mixdown within logic, what is the best way to retain as much of that as possible? or are there other options, like some kind of 2-track digital deck that would have better results and capture more of this beautiful sound i'm hearing at 24/96? completely new topic of thought for me, forgive my ignorance.

Ross Donald Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I mix everything within logic using Logic Control and 2x XTs. But I must try bouncing to some outboard gear for a change, and see if I can improve the feel..... One friend of mine uses his concrete basement as a reverb room..... he plays his audio tracks through decent monitors mounted on the wall at one end of his basement, then records the reverberations using one or two condensers at the other end of the room....Then mixes the result with the original signal....I've heard it.....very effective indeed!

SubFunk Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 all in the box, only sometimes some of the tracking runs through a mixer and some outboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpmjazz Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 My "New Jack Jazz" CD was not only MIXED in the box, but all sound sources (loops, virtual instruments) were from within Logic. I played guitar, bass and recorded percussion and Trumpet (world class player Michael "Patches" Stewart) externally thru a FIreface 800.
