ABSTRACT

Despite the technological developments, reduced production budgets and client expectation of instant mix recalls and amendments leading to professional mixing engineers to be working predominantly ‘in the box’, many engineers still choose to incorporate the use of analog hardware in their practice in a hybrid analog/digital system. Through analysis of semi-structured interviews with a number of professional producers and mixing engineers, this chapter examines current mixing practice to identify emerging hybrid mixing strategies and techniques and consider how these could be integrated into educational curricula.
