Ribbons and Mixing

with No Comments
Mixing is where you realize the greatest strength of ribbons. Because ribbon-recorded tracks sound so much like the instrument you recorded, when you pull up the fader, the instrument is much more likely to drop into the mix right where it's supposed to be. You'll find yourself using much less EQ and signal processing to make the track sit properly in the mix, and you'll spend a lot less time "fixing" things! You may even find yourself using less EQ on other tracks (tracks recorded with other microphones) because the ribbon tracks sit so naturally, they are less likely to fight for space and crowd or mask other tracks in your mix. We told you ribbons will change your life - we meant it.
