Is mixing on an analog console better than mixing in a DAW? This is what an analog mix sounds like compared to in the box! For my entire creative life, people have been talking about the difference between analog and digital recording and mixing. Why one is better, the pitfalls of the other and a seemingly endless road of “if you don’t do it this way your music will fail.” But does it really matter? Is there really a difference in the sound? So in this video we’re at the incredible Blackbird Studios in Nashville, TN to find out! ⚡ LINKS: @APIAudioOfficial @insideblackbird @avid @avid.protools Listen to the song and album from the video!
