On the other hand, processing your mix bus (stems and individual tracks too) with analog gear, can actually take your music to a higher level. If you cannot do it with what you have, then a $400 piece of outboard gear will not help you either.I agree but also I don’t. Its human, not gear related, as any DAW has the tools to make exceptional and professional sounding music.
What takes your music to the next level is your skills in recording, mixing and mastering it. And analog gear in a cheap price range will not take your music to 'the next level' as you state you want it to. No, you do not need it and it will not add anything, besides extra noise into your signal chain in some cases. Recording mainly modern rap, trap, pop, reggae

Sm7b > BAE 1073mp > RME FF 400ucx > Logic Pro X do I even need analog or at a lower price point will this analog gear even ad anything to my mix or am I better in spending money on plugins or investing in the UAD setup? What other options are out there?įor analog gear to help "master" or ad to the Mixbus?Īnd then the question. The Neve Portico II looks killer! But I think it is just out of my budget. I would prefer something analog to ad and help shape the final sound or at least ad some feel to the overall mix. Im looking for a little something to help out with the finishing touches of my mixes. 70% of my stuff I do not send for mastering and instead I mix and "master" myself. Looking for something to take my mixing process to the next level. Im not here to discuss what's best digital or analog, Im simply asking for advice. Wow, I have not been making music for some time and have totally been removed from the "gear" obsession.Ĭoming back to the forums now after many years really and its strange how the conversations have changed and the acceptance of digital plugins (maybe even serenader?).
