Does anyone what type of mixing desk (barand & model),
Richard (Aphex twin, afx...), uses these days, and on his
early stuff?

twin and afx

i wouldn't bother. these 2nd hand mixing mixing desks dont
work the best when covered in a thick layer of yogo and
semen.

are you mixing external modules instruments? or are you
mainly using internal soft synths?

either way.

get a 16chn midi controller and link it to a sequencer mixer
(cub logic ect)with a multichannel sound card. make sure
your latencies can go low enough, this way you can record
your movements and fine tune em, semi automated live and
gives you lots of options like controlling fx and tings.
blah de blah de blah,

Here's the story, I'm currently looking for a new mixing
desk for my studio. And in the process of checking different
desks, I've been looking at what desks my favourite
producers are, and have been using.

This way, I get a feeling of how the different desks sound.

freqy: I'm using hardware synthesizers, and have a midi
setup I'm really happy with. I also record a lot
non-electronic instruments (drums, guitarr, bass,
horns,.....).

You need good microphones and a great pre amp. Go ask this
question at gearslutz.

I'm already at gearslutz.

I mainly produce electronic music. So I'm doing a bit of
research on what sounds good with synthesizers.... I use
analog stuff mainly, aswell as sampling ofcourse.

I just thought someone here might know what he used, and is
using these days.

signal to noise is usually the first thing i check out .

as the mystical alien above mentioned, a good pre amp is a
must ( even if its just one channel!) don't buy a rack of em
buy one sweet mother and bypass everything, record ,then
mess about afterward with the signal,( you can get some nice
single/stereo channel portable preamps now so you can use it
for field work as well ..grab some nice samples and take em
home..

as for desks how much you got to spend? thousands?
hundreds?

best ive used is a cadac but that was a small fortune bout
10 years back. as i said i use all internal soft instruments
mainly at present when i record 'in' from the outside world
my so called 'desk' is a couple of tascam ma-ad8's ( da -88
pre amp racks) running through a motu 2408 .( emu 1616m for
individual channel recordings).all these go into nuendo and
are mixed recorded ect...then sent out via a bus thats how i
mix anyways. and i'm very happy with it. gotta have
automation

allen and heath
mackie
soundcraft

the more you spend the better. but i havent even thought to
buy a desk in over 10 years...ive no need for one at all
really as latency isn't a problem now.

peace:)
