Application Examples - Small Project Studio - Hybrid SuperAnalogue Mixdown

In this example, BiG SiX is being used as part of a hybrid mixdown setup.
Individual signals and stereo stems are being fed to BiG SiX via USB from the DAW, with separate stem mixes for the various
components of the mix. The detailed balance of the stems is controlled using the external DAW controller (in this case SSL's UF8).
The stems are mixed/summed in BiG SiX over USB and the mix balanced using the faders, pan controls and SuperAnalogue
processing. The overall mix is compressed using the Bus Compressor with a stereo EQ placed in the Main Bus Insert.
The output of the channel paths of BiG SiX are being recorded back to additional tracks the DAW using the Post Fader USB output,
allowing the balanced stem tracks to be printed to separate tracks on the DAW. This enables simple re-balancing at a later date by
sending the stem tracks back to BiG SiX with its paths and faders at unity gain. The Main Mix is also being sent back to the DAW
to print the main mix alongside the stems.
