At last, a UA-cam channel where the person doing the explaining/teaching has some pedagogy skills. Thank you for taking the time to explain things in a clear and concise manner, while also taking the time to preemptively answer many of the 'when, where, why' questions students may have have. Explaining such questions, before they are asked, is certainly a hallmark of great teaching --certainly a skill 95.5 of UA-cam channels lack.
I am from the analogue world when I learned this stuff. I wanted to relearn and the way you explain things just brings it all back to me. Patch bays on.
THANK YOU for doing videos on integrating hardboard gear into your studio and daw. I'm considering adding some pieces. So few ppl explain how to use them as inserts. Looking forward to your next video. Please try and explain connections and routing also. Thanks man. Love your channel and welcome back! 👍
Thanks for all your videos Wick, they're amazing! Loving the animation that goes with it, it's clear a lot of time goes into making each video. Mad respect!
Thanks for the video. I’m in the middle of mixing with Ableton. I’m using a Midas M32R as my sound interface and just coming out of the masters of Ableton to 2 tracks on the console. Now I’m going to assign every track in the daw to its own output going into the console and this will allow me to use the gates, comps and eqs on every channel and turn the entire channel up or down without adjusting the overall automation of the channel. The M32 also allows you to digitally record 2 tracks right to a usb drive.
Great video, very well explained. You have answered a all bunch of questions that i was asking myself about the possibilities of hybrid mixing set. Thank you !
Am I understanding it correctly that when using a DAW and incorporating some physical gear, the limitation of the number of physical devices that can be connected are determined by the number of channels on the audio interface? An audio interface with few channels will be a bottleneck for how many different channel outputs you can return to your DAW?
Tbh I’m stuck in choosing the appropriate mixer. I’m in between a Korg MW mixer or the new Tascam Models. I own a TR8, TB3, Korg KP3, Microkorg, CDJ, MPC, Guitar, Piano, Bass Guitar, a Boss Over-Drive Pedal, and a Boss Sp Sampler as of right now. So for a total of 11 hardware pieces/equipment what mixers are generally suggested? (including channel wise) I’m new to music and producing and would like to learn how to a build a workflow with mixer integration. Thank you!
you need to do a vid explaining a setup with a PATCHBAY with a hybrid studio and a analog console, PLEASE I'm confused lol Thanks man i really enjoy these vids.
rik deluca here is the signal flow my friend: musician plays into a microphone >then the signal flows into the consol of your choice> then the put from the MIXING DESK/ CONSOL goes into your audio interface. ( this format records the effects etc. From the mixing desk depending on how the outputs are routed.) ( 1. Most people configure their desk to record directly from their desk so you will NOT RECORD ANY EFFECTS just a clean signal. 2. If you want to record the musician with effects from your consol into your computer/ recording device you music route,the signal from the effects sends of your desk to the computer.) If you have any further questions let me know I will make a video in detail explaining my personal setup
Hey, great video! I'm currently using a hybrid mixing setup with a 16 i/o AD converter (Motu 16A thunderbolt) and my computer is a MacBook Pro with specs of 2.7 ghz Intel core i5 processor and 8 gb of ram. I've found that my computer is much too slow to play projects of up to 100 tracks on Logic Pro X while simultaneously recording and input monitoring-- in fact it's too slow to play the entire song without a system overload. What do you think are good specs to have for a MacBook upgrade so I can run, input monitor and record my tracks through a hybrid setup with minimal interruption from system overload?
Thanks for making this video. You confirmed a lot for me. But in SetUp 2, you would have LEVELS and EQs in : Ableton, the Audio Interface software, and on the Analog mixer. Would i need to monitor them all or just use one of them? How would you do it? Please Answer!
Hey, I am an aspiring engineer who's young and looking to move towards more professional grade recording, and I have an old 32 channel 8 bus Mackie, and I'd like to incorporate it into my current mixing setup. (PC Decsktop w/protools 10, FL, & Ableton, Macbook Pro w/Logic, Novation 49 key midi, Bx5 studio monitors, and a couple of Behringer Xenyx mixers w/fx) I know I'll need a good audio interface, so I'm looking at the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 to replace my fastrack. But thats as far as I know. Will I need anything else? Am I in over my head? Any recommendations?
+wickiemedia I'm concerned about signal loss and degradation. If I send a stereo out or stems from my board to my DAW for mix down, don't I run the risk of losing signal integrity? I am used to mixing down in the DAW. It seems that is probably not the best method. Also, don't you loose some signal by using patchbays? If not, how so? I'm new to mixing like this but it seems like the more professional way of doing things. I know outboard gear is a crucial player. Please advise. Maybe this can be a tutorial?
really what is the proplem of using a daw an interface only is analog devices gives you a different sound ? i dont know why people choose devices instead of plugins
I have been doing a crazy amount of projects over the last year +Marven Wilson S Donque ... I really hope to be able to do many more tutorials over the next months, I have a lot lined up!

Why is wickiemedia always so helpful even 6years later?

This was the video I was searching for
Great tutorials! You explain things so clearly. I have learned so much, so quickly! Can't wait for the rest!
Hey! Glad to see you're back, I love your tutorials. Very clear and helpful

Ur video is most impressive because the graphical presentation....Thank u.....
Wic! Glad to see you're back. Really hoping for some more UAD tuts! Thanks again!
Excellent video, going with 'setup 2' and need all the help i can get lol. New sub.
Excellent article, other interesting things can be found in this blog, at the time in Italian but soon versions in other languages.
Best lesson much clear. hope more.

Glad to see another video :)
wher can i find the next video you mentioned, 'how to set up a mixer with a daw to create a hybrid studio'?
Your videos are the best
Yeah!!!! Missed this guy!
All clear, but the question is how do you get your mix back into the computer when all inputs of your interface are in use?
I needed this channel in my life.. Where's the second video though?

he did that outboard gear with daw video ?i cant find it
What is the best daw for hybrid mixing and why?
Very useful informative video.
miss you :(

Good work buddy!
I do the second version where you use a mixing board with your daw to record and mix everything.....Loveit!!!
Can you teach me the routings please?
Where is the DAW set up tutorials wiki? Loving your tutorials. Will you be back?
really what is the proplem of using a daw an interface only is analog devices gives you a different sound ? i dont know why people choose devices instead of plugins
where's the video at the end?
Very helpful
Hi man! Where's the follow up video? Thanks!
Ton of help thanks yo!
well???> were is the video " using external devices" than????
Great video
Where have u been man...
I have been doing a crazy amount of projects over the last year +Marven Wilson S Donque ... I really hope to be able to do many more tutorials over the next months, I have a lot lined up!
+wickiemedia great because these own
Amazing thank you
I'm trying to mix wheat with grass and *this* came up 😐
Yeah no analogue is dead unless you do live music
D:
Dude this was barely informative at all.
