Currently operating with HDX1 with MP and Lion .
Guestimate of 90 tracks aux,s buss,s incl. 65 vocal channels
Almost all instruments are in stereo . All 60 vocals in mono into stereo buss,s of coarse.
Yes I do mix dsp and non dsp plugins . All native plugs come first , never after dsp. Im pretty much all DSP on audio tracks and buss,s then all native on aux tracks. @96k for the moment , I personally hear a big difference in 96 vs 48 . I had to merge some vocal parts to save on voices . Style volume and dynamics differ greatly so I have been hesitant on merging to many tracks .
That would easily quadruple the mix process .
All native before dsp . all unused tracks deleted .
I was in the process of deleting aux tracks to free voices but now its a huge automation mix .
All very possible in PT now a days but not my style .
Hence the reason to free voice count or it will take a complete remix on 60 channels and plugs of level , plugs , eq , sends and buss automation . You name it it will have to be automated . NOT FUN for a mix that is 70% finished . I might as well start over , and say good bye to 80 hours of effort . the entire song will be a huge automation cluster fXXk.
