I’ve mixed thousands of songs on analog desks - I love the sound, the punch, the depth.
But these days, I mix in the box. I need full recall, speed, and flexibility — but I still want that analog feel.
In this video, I show how I bring analog warmth into my digital workflow using:

Channel emulation on every track

Harmonic distortion that adds depth without mud

Plugin chains that recreate the vibe of classic consoles

I also discuss the difference between adding harmonic distortion across the mix and on individual channels and why it matters.

You’ll also see how I use Waves NLS to model real desks I’ve worked on - including SSL, TG, and my vintage Neve desk.

The song I used in this video:
Darkflare Step
Music/Lyrics: Francuz
Production Francuz, Yoad Nevo
