Mixing Jealousy DAW vs console

What happens when you turn off the screen, unplug the keyboard, and then power up the console and warm up the outboard gear? Is it better? The same? Time to find out...

This 1.5 hour tutorial features the song "Jealousy" by Brandi Thompson and the Alexanders, tracked by Grammy winner Mick Guzauski and produced by Fab Dupont.

See how Fab Dupont:

• Gives a complete breakdown of the Neve 33 series console in the Dangerous Room at Flux Studios NYC
• Unplugs the keyboard and mouse to do a 100% analog mix
• Lays out the tracks on the console and explains his workflow and every choice he makes in real-time
• Explains the importance of gain staging while patching in an EMT 140 plate reverb
• Sets up a parallel drum bus with a DBX 160VU
• Sets up a Neve 33609 compressor and a Neumann PEV EQ across the 2bus
• Dials in the console's built-in 3314 compressors for parallel compression on the entire mix
• Patches in an AKG BX10 spring reverb from the fabulous room to the dangerous room on the snare drum
• Patches in a Roland RE-201 for a mono delay on the vocal
• Does his final fader rides by hand with no automation while printing the final mix
