Music Production - Mixdown
When tracking is nished, SiX is easily recongured for mixdown.
In the above diagram twelve channels of SSL analogue summing have been set up. DAW outputs are connected to SiX using Alt
inputs, Stereo Line inputs and External inputs. The Alt inputs on channels 1 and 2 are summed straight to the mix bus, bypassing
the channel processing.
A hardware insert has been created using the Channel Inserts so a pair of channels can be processed from the DAW through the
SiX channel EQ and Dynamics. This is done by connecting a pair of DAW outputs to the main inputs of Channels 1 and 2. Then
connecting a return path from the Insert Send on Channels 1 and 2 back to the DAW. The channel insert is taken post processing
and returned pre fader. To nish, a pair of DAW outputs is then connected to the channel Insert Returns to provide the nal pair
of summing inputs.
During mixdown all of the advantages of comprehensive monitoring and processing are still available using the stereo Bus
Compressor and the Main Mix Bus Insert.
