In recent months there's been some debate over which actually sounds better
- a digital bounce in software to a stereo master for the final mix,
or taking the busses out into the analog domain and recording the stereo
master from that. Which is the superior method is probably down to personal
preference, but SPL have designed something that will enable you to achieve
your goal in the analog domain - without the need for an expensive analog
console, in the form of the MixDream, an active, cascadable 16-in-2 analog
outboard mixer in a 19"/2U format that can expand any DAW or digital console
with analog stereo summing and accompanying insert functionality.
The MixDream is designed so that channel adjustments and automation (level,
panorama etc.) remain controlled from the DAW. A user therefore loses none
of digital efficiency. However, the MixDream's sophisticated Class A
technology - running at 60 volts - brings a superior analog summing quality
to the final stereo mix, in particular in sonic depth and dynamics. The
MixDream's 16 inserts also allow for integrated analog effects with
individual and overall hard bypass relays. Further features include stereo
expansion, limiting, master inserts and switchable Lundahl output
transformers. SPL sees applications for the MixDream in both in the areas of
mixing as well as mastering. US Retail Price is $3795.
