That's some SERIOUS gear as far as effects processors. I need to comprise a list of the software equivalent (as close as I can) for these.

dude, for as much as dance or hiphop is concerned itb is the way to go, but when it comes to mixing something else those things make a difference. Most of the exotic outboard gear cater more to transcients in mid-high frequency range, having gear like this is like a palette of paint.

@dp, eh...duh ?! I was pointing at the ear and adl, the 666 is nice but not that highly regarded(not saying its crap either).

That's making "assumptions" of why you "think" someone makes a certain comment. Definitely not what I meant by mine. But of course that's the norm these days on ILL.....something or some way elses way ALWAYS has to be better than another. Dick joisting to the max.....

Hes quoting Michael Brauer post, but honestly it makes a great point in keeping people from spending every dollar on the next big piece of studio equipment or VST. Its a way to try to find the sound you want with what you have.

U can quote the post without quoting thread participants unless you're trying to a make point. Brauer has endless gear to mix with. I just thougth it would be cool to see or come up with software that sounds similar. Of course you can't get that exact sound but there's no harm in seeing what u can come up with. Not to mention very seldom do I spend a dime on software...lol

I was just pointing out what he said about gear, I know gear has advantages, its why people still use them. The quote (and the whole post) meant, mixing should be about getting the soul of the song out, not the gear, and yall went straight to gear lol. Just thought it was humorous and thought I'd share

....The point was: get the soul from the song and use what you have. "Just thought it was humorous (that the 1st response was interest in gear) and thought I'd share". Didnt think you'd get in your feelings and start making generalizations about ILL because of it. A simple quotation gone wrong lol

Exactly his point. While there are differences in compressors, and reverbs, at the end of the writing/mixing/mastering process, they play a minut role in the sound of the record compared to being creatively focused.

During my net wandering days, I stumbled across a post (dont remember where, prob gearslutz or KVRAudio) where the guy was mixing a beat and couldnt get what the sound he wanted. So he paid a pro/big name mix engineer to mix it. They both lived in the UK so they made an arrangement, where the engineer came to his house, mixed the record for him and showed him how to do it. The pro got pro results on his little setup (no big plugs, he posted the results). Same sentiment for this.
