A sneak peek of Marcella Araica's 'Deconstructing A Mix' series in which she illustrates how to print stems when mixing with a hybrid analog/in the box set up.

Join us at Dream Asylum Studios in Miami for our second instalment on hybrid mixing with Marcella Araica! In this series, the acclaimed engineer gives you an insight into the creation of 'Go Girl' by Luke James. She recounts the various stages of tracking, discusses production by Danja, and demonstrates her techniques by remixing the multi-track! You'll see how Marcella groups certain parts, runs audio through hardware, and further enhances the signals 'in the box'. She explains why she incorporates certain equipment into a workflow that combines the power of both analog and digital tools. Using plug-ins, outboard gear, and a SSL 9000J console, Araica shows you how she processes drums, percussion, 808, synth bass, guitars, and vocals!

    For those who don't know what board she's using, that's an SSL J board. If you couldn't already tell by the saturation of it, it's really nice on the top end.

    I love this - no gain staging - things clipping all over - no labelling of busses - Really well organised and great knowledge to share ! Excellent stuff !
  • 2:25 that I'm not able to get...... IN THE BOX. I'm guessing they cut this off because they didn't want to make plugin companies mad. Plugins are great but having a nice preamp, compressor, eq and other outboard gear going into the computer initIally for your source makes a HUGE difference.
  • Nice video. I don't know if you remember me but I was your instructor at Full Sail. I go by Stix. Either I'm proud of your success. Peace

    That’s right kids, those boards are meant to actually be used. Lol. They aren’t just a laptop stand.😆
