I am a producer / mixing engineer / live artist operating a high-end hybrid studio in the centre of Berlin.
Today's mixes require more than just precision, good workflow and a clear sound picture. In the digital age, more and more producers are opting for analog mixes with qualities that can't be easily achieved "in the box". Physicality, coherence, warmth, vitality – these terms are describing a sound picture that is achieved through analog summing and analog outboard gear, where the music – and not its artifacts – remains in the foreground. It should also be mentioned that good analog mixes can be made even louder during mastering without ruining the sound. A mix consists of the following components: analog summing on a high-end Speck Electronics LiLo console with +28 dBu headroom, first class outboard gear by API, Chandler Limited, Manley, Pendulum Audio, Electrodyne, Tube-Tech and Urei (see equipment list), reverb processors by Quantec and Lexicon and, not least, the best plug-ins. The mix will be printed either to analogue master tape or it will be captured with a state-of-the-art A/D converter, the Lavry Gold AD122-96 MX. As a result all the musical subtleties of the mix can be preserved and conveyed to the outside world. Every project is unique. Whether you simply want to do a mix, or if you also want to record additional tracks or replace software instruments with classic analog synths: We have the tools – and we love to use them.
