CONSOLES VS. DAWS: HOW TO GET HANDS ON WITH YOUR MIXES

Music producer and Point Blank Creative Director JC Concato explains how to get the most out of hands-on mixing

As more and more producers move inside the box, the old-school approach of getting hands on with hardware and mixing on consoles can be lost.

In this FFL! video, recorded live last week, Point Blank Creative Director JC Concato looks at how to get hands on with your mixes.
