I just started using hardware on my mix buss, and my biggest issue is level matching...getting there, but still not quite as good as I want it to be...
Ok here's one that I've been pondering for the past several years and all it's done is lead me down a rabbit hole of other questions. How consoles are wired....(Note I've never seen an ACTUAL console in real life) What I've figured out is you can't really get any "mixer" and run it as a console because there's not an "output" on each separate channel, you'd need a "console" specifically designed for studio applications to record individual tracks in software and not just the stereo image or the bus tracks. You'd also need enough inputs/outputs on your AD/DA converter(s) to cover each channel. (SSL 48 channel 24 bus console would need 72 AD/DA's) but then where does that leave outboard gear? Is it routed through inserts on each channel, would you want/need more converters for them as well to run them individually, or put them in line before/after the channel in the console ? I'm assuming for example you'd route the snare top to track 2 on console and to add a outboard compressor you'd use an insert on that channel (is there and insert on every channel?)....to print the outboard compressor you'd then need to create a new track to print the new compressor. Anywho welcome to my rabbit hole.....
First off, I love your videos, keeo it simple for dummies like me. Now here's my question, I have a Mackie mixing board with USB out to my computer. How can I record a band session/practice to multiple tracks to mixdown later? Everything is going in to one unified USB signal.
I would love to see this with your actual gear. Basically 'seeing' all the connections that you are making and how everything is patched and connected, etc.
Hey Colt, nice to meet you. My name is Marcus, and I'm from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I've been watching your videos for about a month now. I started professionally back in 1994, and like you, I've built my own project studio by myself. So, it was rewarding and nostalgic for me to see you designing your own. It really brought back some unique memories. I had it for 10 years and ended up in 2004 for several reasons. However, I'm enjoying your videos so much that I'm thinking about rebuilding my studio gear (yes, I still have them) back at home for me and my boys' pleasure. They're 10 and 13, respectively. Congrats on your career and keep it up, your smile and health. Cheers
@@ColtCapperrune Thanks, man. Here's a link of some of my moments on my music journey back in the day: facebook.com/pg/psprostudio/photos/?tab=album&album_id=228297210539875 I'll connect with you over Facebook and Instagram and follow you from there. Cheers
I'm still a relative newbie to all the hardware possibilities. I run Pro Tools and have been mixing 100% with plugins. This has helped a ton - not only with how to use outboard gear, but why you'd want to. Thanks so much. VERY glad I stumbled across your channel. So much great info!
Thank you for providing information about something I think a lot of creators skip over. It sounds really simple, but to someone like me who hasn't used hardware compressors, etc... before, it's good to know what I need to do when the time comes that I want to do it
Just the video I've been asking for, Thank you. Kinda wish you showed demonstration with your hardware instead of drawing but i get the points you made
@@ColtCapperrune I was thinking to start trying integrating pedals to my workflow, I'm a violinist and wanted to make it sound differently, so can you suggest some pedals before going into other expensive outboard gears?
Funny thing in the 70s 80s 90s and even early 2000s there weren’t a lot of plug ins so with outboard equipment you really had to work hard to get a great sound out of the 🎶 🎼 🎵 👍🏾
Let me just say,you just helped a bunch of folks wrap their head's around this process 👍. I wish I had this video years ago. Have you thought of offering a paid video pack to your TH-cam subscribers? I personally enjoy your way of explaining things. Take care,CY.
Great video, thank you Colt! Nearly all of my experience with recording and producing has been in the box using plugins, however I do hope to soon incorporate some hardware into my work flow!
yeah I was looking into I/O last week for ableton. I've actually got a presonis tube channel strip (I use for giutar DI) and use a presonis 16.0.2 dig mixer that has comp/verb fx and only last week I was thinking why haven't I tried the fx for outboard mixing. thanks man....lol one more thing eh... audio engineering -fk its a deeper hole than learning scales
Hey Colt, Thanks Again. You might show them a little on the routing such as Patchbay, The Software that lets you route your hardware to the Mix Buses weather it be single track, Master Bus and so on. I'm using my hardware in Stereo mostly on my Master Buses. Sometimes I might use something on one of the Mono tracks. I try to purchase my Hardware in Pairs or Stereo units.
gr8 vid ... bt in the mixing session, the output part ain't clear enough .. when the signal cme out from the computer, u didn't mention in which channel of the interface r we gonna use .. we can't use channel 13 coz we hav to use it for the input after passing through the Eq/comp before entering the computer .. its a bit confusing ..
Great vid! I believe logics I/O plug-in in has a way to automatically calculate the latency. Does PT not have anything similar? I’d also love to see what your printing process looks like when you’re mixing with hardware. Thanks!
Beautiful video , but I’m confused , .. I have a preamp to my comp, into my ad+ dangerous converter into my Hilo via aes . How do I connect it to get it to mix with my other comp I have ,? And then how do you print the track after you got it mixed with the hardware ? Sooooo confusing 🫤
Dear Colt! You does'nt say an important thing (at my opinion) take the ad/da round-trip less as possible... That's what I heared from a mixing/master engenieer. He said for me:" If you going in and out too much time at the converters the audio gets lost from their own quality... It's like take a picture from a picture!"
Sweet video man!....all that gear you got...got me thinking! I mean...I have a 4 in 4 out interface...have the mpc1 hooked up on input channels 1 & 2...presonus 8xt's on the monitor outs...wich leaves me with a pair of in and out...and am thinking it would be pretty cool to have the audio from the mpc1 and or DAW run trhough some analog gear....like a stereo master or maybe some separate channels also...any ideas or suggestion fo gear I should take a look at? ....am thinking either a compressor of sorts or maybe a limiter or a exciter....maybe? Am ALL ears if anybody has any ideas.
Just curious, what is the best signal chain to record? Mic to Pre-Amp to PC, and then mixing with external hardware.... OR Mic to Pre-Amp to EQ to Compressor to PC, although this seems to be logical, doesn't this method restricts the flexibility to make changes in future? OR the third option to have a half normalled patchbay, recording the raw audio from Pre-Amp to PC as well as the entire signal chain that is Preamp to EQ to Compressor to PC simultaneously?
So I want to start adding outboard gear to my studio, im running an Appolo twin and have been using UAD n waves plugins mostly . My question is, so if I want to use the outboard gear , pre, eq, comp for tracking , and mixing . How would I do that? Say I have multiple tracks like chorus and adlibs and want to change the EQ on the outboard gear on that track ? If I change the setting on the outboard gear it would change it on the other track ? How does the daw save those specific settings on an outboard gear for individual tracks? I can’t wrap my head around this.??
Hey colt I understand. I’m trying to figure out why I insert the hardware insert why I get no playback but signal shows on the software for the interface for input and output
Good morning, I'm having trouble getting signal out while printing with hardware. I'm using a manley core with a distressor to a Apollo twin. I can hear the changes when I twist the knob but when is time to print the waves don't change. What am I doing wrong? I'm using pro tools as well.
Great video brother! I have a very important question and hope you can answer it. I have an Apollo Twin x and just bought a 500 series chassis with a pair of Neve 542s and an SSL Ultraviolet EQ to be used specifically on my mix bus. A friend of mine recommended not to insert the 542s into the SSL and connect them independently instead. Since I only have 2 I/O what would be the best way to make my hardware work properly and/or I need a new interface. Cheers
ok. But do you know how is the direction I you have external converters, like a aurora n , for example? the compressors and eq will go to the aurora or to the interface? and how is the connection between the converters and the interface??
now I know why thunderbolt 3 is really really crucial for reducing latency in hardware mixing. RIP USB 2 interfaces connection for mixing in hardware 🤣
Great video! I was wondering if you have ever used Eurorack or any other modular synth format as a signal modulator but creating delays or filter sweeps on a track post recording... Also what may be the best way to go about recording/processing like this w/o feedback and recording with true volume..? I recently used my Eurorack and recorded using my Main outs, and my Headphone outs and got different, but great results creating my own filter sweeps with the modular. Thanks and have a great day!
I never understood how to compress for example, multiple tracks with just one analog compressor lets say, does the audio get printed with the compression on it then you move onto the next track? thanks for the video!
Love it, man. Any tricks for doing this with only 2 outs on my interface? It's an apogee rosetta 200. i also have an A/D 16X. no help with the outs though.
Hi Colt, I have been using plugin compressors for my drum recordings. If I purchase 1 hardware compressor would it be possible to use it on 5 of the recorded tracks? Thank You
hey which one of the flow is correct? mic -> preamp -> compressor -> eq -> interface -> mixer console -> daw or mic -> preamp -> compressor -> eq -> mixer console -> interface -> daw please help. i'm confused with the signal flow and setup here. pls advice
Hey Colt. I have been enjoying your videos and watching some of your fellow You-tubers . I`m very interested n the Capi lunchbox and module mic preamp, eq and compression. I have been just using 300.00 condenser mic and Apollo Twin to record for fun for me. The sound seems very sterile aside from the gear and room. Now, along with a good source is it safe to say that outboard mic pre ,compressor and maybe eq will give more of a lift if you will and 3 dimension to the sound? Thank you for opinion in advance.
So that is the biggest difference as you work your way up through the ranks in terms of hardware. Generally speaking the higher you go, the bigger more three dimensional, more impressive, less sterile sounding things get. I can’t say enough good things about the CAPI chassis, preamp‘s, EQs, and compressor. Everyone of them is top shelf. Hope that helps!
@@ColtCapperrune Watching your other vids right now as we speak. I thank you so much for quick reply. I price can`t be beat and the sound I`m hearing are killer .
Will my vocals sound better with a vocal chain (mic pre to eq to compressor to interface) or is the sound the same if I use the hardware like a plugin on the already recorded vocal? Please help me understand the difference 🙏🏼
If I'm going to record in stereo (let's say acoustic guitar) should I get a 2 channel preamp, or will be using different two single preamps be ok? I guess the same could be asked about a compressor and eq for that matter.
Hey men! Thanks for the video i have a question, i have a apollo twin X wich means i just have 2 imputs i already have hooked up a Avalon 737 and i would like to ad a External EQ but you said on a prt to rute back from the EQ to the same number but i didn’t understand 😖
Could u please explain what the difference between a mixer and a audio interface is like is a ssl g 48 track console just a bigger version as a ssl 2+ audio interface don’t they do the same thing ?
Hey Colt, nice video. Question, in the mixing process, when you are assigning the output in the DAW, say channel 8 when using an apollo x8p, so if you assign output on your daw to channel 8, then the cable that is plugged into channel 8 on the x8p goes into the input of the hardware EQ you want to use, then the output of that EQ goes where? (to bring the processed signal into the DAW), hope I make sense. Thank you.
Do I have to re-record the audio processed with analogue gear or is it possible (or would it make sense) to send multiple signals at one time to one device? Probably not right?
I really don't know what is this hardware use for ? I'm a beginner beatmaker n I wish to know about mix and master , can I mix n master without hardware shown on video above ?
Anything specific you struggle with when it comes to hardware? Everyone, let’s help our fellow music peeps out here in the comments!

Say I have an outboard preamp with EQ. I want to use it for tracking but then I want the EQ for mixing later.

Hi Colt, how you fix the latency then?
Hey Colt, nice video. Question, in the mixing process, when you are assigning the output in the DAW, say channel 8 when using an apollo x8p, so if you assign output on your daw to channel 8, then the cable that is plugged into channel 8 on the x8p goes into the input of the hardware EQ you want to use, then the output of that EQ goes where? (to bring the processed signal into the DAW), hope I make sense. Thank you.
It has to go back to the same channel, which in your case is input channel 8.
Hey I’m trying to figure out why I’m unable to use all 3 of my outboard gear in PT at the same time as insert?
Do you manually route every time? Or do you have a patch bay for this?
Do I have to re-record the audio processed with analogue gear or is it possible (or would it make sense) to send multiple signals at one time to one device? Probably not right?
Hey Colt! How loud/quiet do you send the signal for the ADDA roundtrip? Is it always -18 DB (analouge 0)?
Is that latency part adressing phase issues when sending and recording at the same time by the same soundcard?
So how we configure in the daw? I use reaper and studio one 4
sweet
nice
