API BOX - 2 Stage Hybrid Mixing Analog / Digital

Getting the best of both worlds by capturing tracks with analog processing, then doing a digital mix with analog summing.

This system puts the DAW automation and plugin effects where they belong, after the analog processing, and provides quick easy archive and recall just like an ITB mix.

The surprise for me was how relaxing and pleasant it was doing the final digital mix with tracks that have already been through analog processing. i make a point of using a brand new project (with a template for summing outputs) - and importing the captured analog processed tracks from the original project. in addition to committing edits and takes its also a chance to print all virtual instruments. You end up with a very lean & clean new project, making the digital mix even easier. There's usually not much left to do at this stage in terms of channel processing so not having to reserve brain space for watching gain staging helps make that final mix truly focused on creativity.
