Culljosh Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Afternoon, I am about to purchase some gear this week to help with not mixing just in the box. Currently, all I use is an Audient ID14 MK1 and various pedals. My drums are MIDI and I use Logic's drum set designer for sounds etc. Just wanting to add warmth, punch, and to clear up some mud. (Currently, I have a mound of plug-ins) So, I was thinking of a new interface. Either one of these will be my choice, please let me know if you suggest one over the other? SSL2+: https://www.solidstatelogic.com/products/ssl2-plus VOLT 476: https://www.uaudio.com/audio-interfaces/volt/volt-476-usb.html Paired with either one of those interfaces, I was going to get the following for reamping or summing. Neve 511: https://rupertneve.com/products/511 SSL SiX Channel Strip (Maybe 2): https://www.solidstatelogic.com/products/six-ch Mounting in here: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Cube500--radial-workhorse-cube But recently I have come across this guy and wondering if I should just focus on this for the time being. SSL SiX Desktop Mixer: https://www.solidstatelogic.com/products/six I am just thinking of going for the SSL desktop mixer and any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! CHEERS!

triplets Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 If you want to do the actual console summing, and make it worthwhile, you need more than 2 output channels from your interface. How many summing stems are you planning on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culljosh Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 I will have 4 outputs on either interface. I am wanting to stem just drums - bass - guitar - synth. All my music is instrumental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culljosh Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 Technically, I will have 6 now that I think about it too. I won’t be using the monitor outputs on the interface but the outputs on the SSL SIX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culljosh Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 The Volt 476 has 4 independent TRS & TS outputs (Plus two monitor outs). TRS Output 1 - drums - TRS Output 2 Guitar -TRS Output 3 Synths - TRS Output 4 Bass. The SSL SiX has 6 inputs without the use of dsub cables and I was going to route these 4 inputs, push through eq’s and the master bus compressor on SiX, and then route back into the DAW when I want to print. Does that make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Drums, guitars and synths in Mono? Are you sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culljosh Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 I’m going to be doing to be running each input into the console in stereo… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
