Universal Audio does it again
In the box, or out of the box? This question has evolved in many conversations!…
- Was it mixed in the box or out-of-the-box?
- Should I mix it in the box or out-of-the-box?
- Does it sound better mixed in the box or out-of-the-box?
These are just some of the questions that seem to come up when when we speak about summing boxes/interfaces like the Dangerous 2-bus designed by Dangerous Music. This is probably the most popular one on the market. One of their interfaces is designed to receive 8 mono Stems or 4 stereo. The purpose of this box is to get your mix prepared and ready within your computer, when you're ready to bounce, you play all the audio out either 8 mono outputs or 4 stereo outputs, feeding those stems into the Dangerous 2-bus. Then on the dangers to bless you suck mix the eight or four steps, and then bounce t disk.
The Dangerous BAX EQ Plug-In Collection is a powerful tool for shaping and enhancing the tonality and character of your music. Designed as a “finishing EQ,” the BAX EQ Collection is an authentic plug-in emulation of this studio staple for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces
I personally do not have any experience on the actual interface, but I have heard great things about it from fellow engineers that use it and swear by it.
I however prefer to stay in the box simply because of
- The convenience of being able to go back and changing and a parameter within the mix and rebalance
- No recall on the interface, the knobs are Rotary analog
- Less cabling
- I also prefer the option of doing my own mastering within the box, giving me the flexibility of adding or taking away plug-ins on the master Fade.
- There are a lot of articles, arguments, and comparisons of such boxes! summing boxes are a great tool. But used incorrectly, and it will ruin your overall sound. One of the most important things is to have have a keen year year year, and the ability to recognize low distortion
- Again as I always recommend, go ahead and download the free 15 day demo and experiment with it yourself on all year on some of your productions.
