Analog Mixing Desks sometimes called analogue mixers, or analogue mixing desks, are a long-standing form of mixer design that goes back to the very earliest stages of recording and broadcast audio. Used for live events, recording, and studio mixing and mastering, analog mixing desks use analog technology to carry, process and output audio signals.
Known and prized for their warm sound thanks to analogue circuitry, from preamps, EQ, and sometimes built-in compression, these units can do everything from record a very small number of instruments to capturing a whole band’s live performance and letting the engineer mix it on the desk. Some analog mixers can even connect to computers via USB or have multi-track recorders built-in.
Taking design notes from the large-format recording consoles seen in high-end studios, analog mixers are fast, reliable, durable, and easy to learn and work with. With auxiliary sends to send channels out to external processors, analog mixers are also very expandable. These mixers can also make it extremely easy and tactile to control volume, from knobs or faders as well as individual mute buttons to cut audio from unneeded sources at the press of a button.
An analogue mixing desk is a device that combines, processes and manipulates audio signals in an analog domain. These desks are known for their tactile controls and warm sound, offering a direct, hands-on approach to sound mixing.
Analog mixers are not inherently better; they offer a different experience. They are prized for their warm sound and tactile control, but the choice between analog and digital depends on the user's needs and the context of use.
The disadvantages of a digital mixing desk include a learning curve for its software and potential latency issues. While offering versatility and precision, they may lack the immediate, hands-on feel of analog desks.
