"if you dont have the hardware, you'll never know"... thanks for this!

"It doesn't matter" with regards to them sounding identical. Exactly.

My issue is that three hours of mixing in the box makes me tired and depressed, from all the repetitive computer moves, and three hours of mixing analog I’m still energized and excited about the music. I need knobs and faders.

Perfect logic, if you don't have the hardware you'll never know. Digital can be just as good nowadays, different, but just as good.

He is totally wrong about what vari-mu is. It is a variable active gain stage, like variable opamp feedback resistor (light dependent), or variable cathode resistor on a triode amplifier.

UAD still sells hardware units at high prices whilst being the near the top popular plugins on the market. That should be the answer right there.

If Waves produce this video, the result is biased. Thumb down only for that.

Jeez Andrew must be tired of this question. He has been giving the same answer for years.

I love mixing in the box for the most part. When I'm in a much bigger studio I love using hardware. I think doing both also sounds good to me. As long as it does the job then I'm good to go!!!

If one option really were as good as the other, then recording studios wouldn't spend thousands of dollars buying expensive equipment. Another question is whether someone earns commission by selling hardware or selling plugins.

Just good to know that the plugins are available if you have the knowledge of knowing how to use them that an analog warmth can be achieved and that studio level sound is accessible to those who know how to get there. There are so many pieces of the puzzle to create professional studio sound and knowing how to use these kinda plugins from these top mixing engineers is a major key to the puzzle.

If Waves will release Omni Channel 2 some day, I would ask them to add Transient Designer block, width control (like EV2), crosstalk knob for stereo channels and clipping mode as alternative to limiter.

Andrew is amazing!

I want to learn both. I know how to mix a little bit in the box, but I would like to use hardware too.

That's it!

Grateful

like before watch...

It's not like most of us can afford or have access to great hardware. To a lot of people recording at home Plugins are the only practical and realistic option.
