Damn! Miss my mix 24!
So I got to hear some of my old mixes that I did on a very standard Mix 24 system last night, the old 888/24 with a vintech pre.
Damn, they still sound good from 2004 ish. I really wonder about how much better the new stuff actually is. :) Am I delusional or did they sound that good. ?? Ps. I never really got into the converters argument, there has certainly been many a great album on the mix systems, perhaps my ears are buggered now.

Re: Damn! Miss my mix 24!
What?? Personally, I think a solid mix of a great song/performance will transcend the medium. After all, how many hits were done on black-face ADAT machines Then, good engineers will get good sound, no matter what they're working with

Re: Damn! Miss my mix 24!
I think most of the TDM plugins from the MIX era were easier to use. Maybe it was just because there were fewer choices and you had to pay more, so you spent more time getting to know a plugin. I do still keep a functional MIX rig just so I can use soundblender.

No he did mean a plugin as knowing to use your tools

Sorry, my state-of-the-industry dark sarcasm was thick that day.

Awesome rigs man. We're currently running several of them as extra systems for editing and tracking. No ADC doesn't bug us one bit, especially when coupled with a little analog console and a few choice pieces of outboard gear.
I especially like no iLok needed :-D |

Re: Damn! Miss my mix 24!
I have ilok licenses for all of my old mix plugins, the only one I use floppy auth for is lexiverb, since they never made an ilok version of it. Haven't fired up the old mix rig in quite some time, starting to itch for some soundblender guitar effects!

I have to agree with the OP that the MIX systems and the songs atleast the ones we did sounds great today compared to PT12HD. We did track thru our old Soundtracs Jade-S 48 channel console and last time i listened to the songs we got released and sold I ran them thru our SSL4056G+ and damn .... they sounded awesome. Fat Full Well Mixed and overall really warm analog. I think in our case that they do sound like that is because we spent wayyy less time testing hundreds of Plugins and outboard gear and just recorded with the sweet levels of analog and got to the sound using very sparse plugin arsenal. The ones we did use back then we knew in our sleep and by not messing about with all the gear and software and just used the Jade console, a good mic (U87) and straight into the preamps of the console. I think we have used a Focusrite RED and our 2 LA2-A but that was it. Maybe 3 different plugins and all in all I want to remember that there were no more than 15 instances so today recording and mixing the same sessions with our gear of today I don't think we would be able to get there as clean and warm as we did back in the day! Are we going backwards with all the choices of plugins and hardware as I honestly think many of todays pop songs on the radio sounds like utter crap. I know I am very picky when it comes to the end product but I am guilty of producing and selling less that great songs aswell so part of the problem for sure. In any case the music released in the ninties and a bit into the 2000's do sound way better and done with sooooo much less gear than we use today.
