    Mix Is Lacking but Can't Put My Finger on it...

    Would be great to get some fresh ears with a mix I'm doing. It's low cause in volume, so crank your speakers. https://www.dropbox.com/s/le1lptrai6gyrtw/Print%207.3_17.mp3

    Ok so I've only had about a few hours to get into them. I dig them. Ive used them on OH which made them sound great. I tracked them with guitars and they really cleaned up the sound on. Tomorrow I'll mix them into my kick and snare. I want to get away from work but omg it's hard feed this...

    That's a few $ that I would save and just get the 500 units instead. I have two Kush Electra that I use on guitar tracking and mixing and I like them...

    I understand that that might be a case to case situation, exp. I like how my snare sounded with PsP old timer comp then my distressor hardware unit. But that might not be the case on another song or group. Having the ability to grab and tweak the nobs on my outboard gear does make a difference.

    I did own the plugs and well since their not to bad I can't stand Waves so I sold all my plugs from them. I mean saw some vintech I like but don't want to blow my whole bank so I'll stay with eq for now.

    Well I print and since I just picked up another Apogee module I can run more outs and get more processing. I've read bad things about printing cause of having to send it all out from A/D etc but meh... Yeah one of each would rock, but for now I'll go stereo. Where did you get your 1073 clone?

    I'm going to grab a stereo pair of eq but I'm debating on API 550b or SSL 4k both in the 500 series. Im leaning on API but I'm wondering if you other guys have had any experience on these eq. Not so much for the plugin ver. but the hardware...
