Yup. I use my x desk for this. Most of the time I just use it to sum my stereo mixes because I’m lazy or record a single track stem and drive it a little.
Yea this would be too redundant in my setup. This is cool for someone starting out. This is a Swiss Army knife
9080J EQs perfect for broadstroke stuff to your material or records you are sampling.
-Superanalogue channel. It adds a bit of a hi-fi tone to it.
-Dynamics section to handle those hard hitting peaks.
Master volume knobs for SSL always go to 11.
possibly a dumb question on this, but mixer routing confuses me sometimes…
would it be possible to do the following with this:
route four stereo stems from your DAW into channels 3/4, 5/6 and ext inputs 1 and 2
sum these stems to one stereo pair (without using the G series compressor)
send that summed stereo pair to channel 1/2 line inputs, using their EQ’s as well as dedicated compressors and/or the G series compressor
send this summed/EQ’d/compressed pair back to your DAW?
or am I looking at this wrong? would be an excellent final mixdown tool if you could do this, but it seems to me like the ext inputs/stereo pairs can’t be isolated/summed in the way it would require…
Really interested in this. Been thinking about pulling the trigger on either a Neve summing or X-Desk… this might be more useful although fewer inputs…
I’m waiting for the same thing. The Model 1 DJ mixer gets pretty close to my sweet spot. Only two stereo aux loops, but six channels of stereo inputs, all balanced, and interesting shaping filter and saturation feature. Expensive AF though.
This SSL is pretty sweet though, can’t wait to hear what it sounds like.
