"I have been mixing a lot 'in the box' recently, but when I saw the equipment at the Castle of Doom I made the decision to buy an Apogee Symphony PCI card for my Mac and a couple of X-Symphony cards to hook up to their Apogee DA16 converters. I also got an X-Symphony for the AD16, which allowed me to come 'out of the box', and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Summing was through the Euphonix board in the studio, and I set up a few compressors on aux sends so I could get some additional tones going. Two Distressors, two Urei 1176s, two Chandler Germaniums and two Dbx 160As were on eight auxes most of the time. I also used the API 2500 as a buss compressor. I found the Euphonix EQ quite useful as well.”
