In this pureMix.net Exclusive, Award Winning Engineer, Brian Moncarz explains his mixing template and workflow for organizing sessions and importing his carefully selected creative array of plugins.

Throughout this video, Brian explains how he transitioned from an all analog workflow to being nearly entirely in the box, each track in detail, why he chooses to import his plugins and routing, as well as how he uses creative distortion to sculpt records with his signature sound.

See how Brian:

Imports his template into sessions he receives to optimize his workflow so that he can be as creative as possible as quickly as possible
Chooses between his personally tuned “Mix Bus A” and “Mix Bus B” chains
Uses the UA Fairchild 660 and Soundtoys Radiator to add color to his mix bus
Approaches tape saturation, mix bus compression and mix bus EQ
Explains his multiple parallel processes in detail
Sets up his vocal processing

After you have seen how Brian uses his template, download it for yourself and make it your own.

Great Template and the grit is unique. It'd be great to have an in depth insight on the use of the plugins and also an updated version for the some other DAWs too. For some reason some of the plug ins don't load correctly and settings are not visible. Overall good vibes from Brian!

Always interesting to see what plugin choices are and why.

Templates make no sense when you don`t have all the plugins that are used!

Excellent workflow template !! Brian’s explanations of how he came up with his plugin and routing choices and how he applies them is really well done. I will be using this template as a starting point for my mixes. Thanks!!

I love how practical, convenient, and streamlined your template is. What is lovely about analog mixing is that everything is plugged in, on, and ready to go. This template essentially does all of that for you from jump street and allows your to spend less time scrolling endless plugin menus and more time listening, tweaking, and getting the job done. Awesome breakdown.

Someone's watched all the Scheps, King, Blake and Power videos ;)

I'm running logic on a 16 ram laptop. It chokes easily. Are you at 32 ram or higher? The Apple store folks laughed at me when I said I wanted 128 Ram or higher. "What are you Hans Zimmer?"

Ok, you've set up your template with everything but the actual song material. A customer/artist "sends you their song". Aren't they delivering to you something they created which already has plugins, etc, routed however they needed to get the sound they're going for as best they can? And you're going to start with that and mix the song using your template which has your chosen stuff in it. How do you marry what they sent you WITH your template? They didn't design their session with your template in mind, right? How do you get them "together" in one Pro Tools Session to work on?

This was my first exposure to Brian, and I really enjoyed his enthusiasm and ability to explain what he was using and why. Now I need to find some videos where he's mixing a track, so I can follow along. Great video, thanks!
