MixDream
Analog Summing Unit with 16 Inserts
The MixDream is a cascadable, 16-in-2 analog summing device. Any DAW or digital console can be expanded with active analog summing, channel and main bus and inserts and processing.
The MixDream discrete class A technology is based on a 60-volt rail (+/- 30V). This ensures extremely high slew rates, low noise level of -97dBu (A-weighted, all channels active) and a dynamic range of over 125dB. Thus the MixDream outperforms the technical level of the best analog consoles.
Tony Newton
Recording engineer for Iron Maiden and bassist for Voodoo Six
“I originally mixed the tracks straight after Sonisphere and then went out and did FOH on some dates with British Lions (Steve Harris' band). So, when I got back, I remixed the tracks with the Mixdream so I would have a direct A/B reference, you could hear the difference right away, it was unbelievable. It gave the mixes a real analogue warmth and feel. And the depth and width was amazing, you wouldn't normally get that from digital recordings and mixes. I’m now going to use the Mixdream on everything.”
Tony used the Mixdream to mix 4 Iron Maiden songs which were recorded live at Sonisphere 2014 and were then used for a special on Sky Arts TV.
