In this video, I mix my song "Alone Intertwined" using two SSL Big Six desks, showcasing my hybrid mixing workflow with analog gear from SSL, Black Lion Audio, Warm Audio, and more! I experiment with different setups, including BLA LA-2As on drums and bass, which sounded incredible.
This mix was done in Cubase 14, but the techniques shown are applicable to Logic Pro, Pro Tools, FL Studio, and Reaper.
