peace,
I've been mixing records for years on various formats.....i recently started mixing in a more in the box sort of facility. There are a few good pieces of outboard that i run stuff through and print back into protools via a lavry converter and nudge back into place. i also run everything through a chandler mini mixer and use tons of plugins. I have been finding that although i can get a comprable result to mixing in the anolog domain, i cant seem to work nearly as fast. What would normally take me 12 -14 hours is now taking me 20+ hours. There are a couple time savers such as more dsp cards that will cut things down, and i am using a euphonix control surface that helps with automation.....but i am wondering how do you guys that do it like this work more efficiently and faster. Im not at all willing to compromise quality, but working like this is causing the bottom end to diminish when it come sto the time i spend on things. I know some people out there have developed methods and systems. care to share? i typically have a lots of tracks to mix. mainly vocals.
