Signal flow…. MPC3000 into a Big Noise MPC XFDT988N 1:2 into a set of UAD apollos (a 8 and an x8) Arrange and edit itb, Then record that to my tape machine to give it life. Tape machine feeds this Yamaha PM1000. Running effect sends to this Mixwizard WZ16:2 (mixwiz has 6 sends and I can put the return from my fx on channels without eating up space on the PM. The direct outs from the PM (Mod) feed this Neve 8816 summing mixer. The Neve does mid/side and some other cool mastering section stuff (stereo widener, parallel processing on the busses etc.) from there its an old Meyer CP10 stereo eq (7 band para running in mid side because of the neve) and a set of Calrec bus comps (neve diode style) in serial for weight/glue. I come off the calrecs and drive/clip (1-2db on Drum peaks) my ad converter (Burl B2 bomber). Whats coming off the Burl is exactly what you’re hearing. Recording the digital inputs direct to the video.
