Workflow

There are good reasons why so many leading engineers and producers still choose to mix on a console, some of them
because of sonic aspects and others because of workflow choices. Mixing out-of-the-box gives a wider sound-stage and
a distinct colouration that no plug-in can equal. We're also told that it is easier to get a mix together quickly with a console
and that it feels more intuitive than a mouse. XL-Desk gives a full-featured console workflow, but with a project-studio
friendly footprint under 1m
processors to make the XL-Desk the hub of your hybrid studio world! Connect your XL-Desk to a patchbay for ultimate
flexibility, and use the direct outs from every channel and Bus to print files back into your DAW for easy mix revisions.
