Joel Hamilton discusses his hybrid mixing approach at Studio G, combining an SSL console with digital plugins.
He emphasizes using plugins like the Kirchoff EQ for precise corrective EQ and mild compression on vocals, ensuring the desired signal reaches the console for further analog processing.
Hamilton's technique allows him to shape the sound effectively before adding analog color, maintaining a clean and intentional mix foundation. This approach highlights the balance between digital precision and analog warmth, tailored to enhance the unique qualities of the vocal performance.
