A few years ago I was in a unfulfilling relationship, I’m sure we’ve all experienced those kinds of relationships at various times in our lives! The girl I was breaking up with had a Rock Star suitor chasing after her, he would call my home line and have meaningless and unsolicited conversations with me about his car which was, as he put it:- ‘A special Cadillac with a Ferrari designed engine in it’. Haha. This resulted in a song, the song was ‘Love Me I’m Rich’! It seems an apt title given my experience!
I originally mixed the song in a hybrid fashion through my SSL. The other day I was thinking about this song, it had been mixed twice before, once through an API console and the second time in a hybrid fashion through an SSL, both results I enjoyed. But both Andrew Scheps and Neal Avron get great results in-the-box, so I wanted to challenge myself and do this third mix without any summing or external hardware whatsoever!
The result was a 6-hour mix, which we filmed! It was an interesting experience for me, I went to bed the first night second guessing the mix decisions I made, it was like learning to mix from scratch again! I thought of all of the people I’ve spoken to who said that their transition from console mixing to mixing in-the-box took quite some time to readjust their way of mixing completely! So I’m happy I got to document my experience! In the end, I was happy with the results!
