Commercial mix without hardware. Is it possible?

[zvish]

Do you know any examples of commercial mixes made only with software plugins etc? Mix, and master ONLY with software, no hardware stuff...only some good preamps on beginning, later everything on computer...

 

[Sinister Mephisto]

Yes. 100% possible.

 

[everybody's x]

tons of shit

 

[Zack Uidl]

Yeah, totally possible. There are tons of examples of this

 

[zvish]

sooo ? which ones ;P

 

[everybody's x]

search gearslutz for a thread called "100% in the box" or something like that. it's an epic thread with 8 million examples

 

[jrt12]

badass... there's hope!

 

[The Unavoidable]

Avatars album "slacht" was done in Cubase Sx3, I'm pretty sure

 

[Ermz]

Definitely. Though that's not to say there aren't merits in adopting some analogue into your system.

All of my mixes so far have been 100% ITB, but that doesn't include the hardware comps involved on the way down, nor the various outboard used during mastering. It's very easy to adopt a hybrid approach even if you mix solely ITB.

 

[Waterboy]

It's not Metal - Charles Dye did his last couple of albums in the box with plugins only



((I think ... but I could be wrong))

 

[Damian B]

I saw an interview with Frederick Nordström some time ago where he said he switched to all ITB mixing.... I'm pretty sure the Dimmu Borgir album was mixed that way.

 

[Ermz]

Yeah, though I really wouldn't be using Nordstrom's recent work as a selling point for ITB...

 

[Andy Sneap]

all my stuff... is that considered commercial?

 

[Ermz]

Don't you use a Finalizer or something, Andy?

Since we're on the topic, are there any plug-ins that you've been digging lately?

 

[zvish]

all my stuff... is that considered commercial?

yes but you are using some external EQ like neve for e.g, or some compressors i think?

you know guys, my english is really bad but I'd like to know is there some good metal, rock productions in big labels that are made only with vst's, rtas blablabla heh

 

[KeithTidd]

hells yeah.

 

[crillemannen]

Fredrik Nordström uses only software in the mix sessions. - Bring me the horizon latest album for example

 

[HeadCrusher]

Livin’ La Vida Loca :danceboy:

 

[Kazrog]

Metal isn't commercial.

That's true...
