Oh but 1 more ?... Can the Liquid Mix really do that much of an accurate emulation?? hmm..?

;D
Well apparently the emulation is pretty good, but a good point is, who wants an exact emulation of old kit, what is the point?
As long as you get the same characteristics and behaviour as the type of equipment you are looking to use, but with modern unrestricted use (a lot of the old kit had restricted settings, limited ratios, step eq frequencies etc).

The liquid mix is basically a sintefex device, but without the option to run your own convolution algorythms through outboard kit, so you only get the kit they themselves have run the convolution through.

In my opinion, it`s bloody good, and worth 2 times the price you can get it for.

the compression has that airy open-ness that you get with great gear that is rarely emulated with plug ins, and the EQ`s are just stunning. It`s also nice to have the hardware interface.

I have to say the manley EQ emulation is beautiful.

I have the opportunity to access some amazing studios as a member of the music producers guild, and I have to say, the liquid mix does stand up well.
Obviously it`s not as good as some of the huge vintage desks out there, but you need a mortgage to buy them anyway.

Again, worry less about wether the kit is analog or digital, and more about what results you want, and what kit can get those results for you.

always try stuff on a money back policy and form your own opinion wether or not to keep it.
