Paul: Pro Tools, all at 192, although the Imaginebox was a 96k project at the time. When it’s a historical project, like John Lennon, I like to work and mix at 192, which is definitely a challenge and pushes the system. Then we create 96k or 48k files, whatever’s needed.
Paul: For practicality, you have to, especially with approvals. We can’t just throw it back up on an analog desk and keep recalling it. Simon: To help with the process when the lockdown started, we all got matching setups with the same speakers and digital gear, so we knew that what we were listening to here was the same as what Paul was listening ...
Simon: Pro Tools, Universal Audio interfaces, and ADAM A8X monitors. Paul: I’ve used ADAM monitors forever, and recently I also picked up a set of Barefoot monitors. I actually spend a bit of time mixing and listening in headphones because everyone listens on headphones today. Simon: Which headphones, Paul? Endorsement, endorsement! [everyone laugh...

Paul: We kept it. I usually start with a vintage style EQ and then fine-tune with FabFilter or just the Avid EQ because, at 192, it’s so processor-light.
Paul: I really like the Pultec EQs, and lately, for channel stripsI’ve been going between the Brainworx bx_console N and the new bx_console SSL 9000 J. It’s a bit processor-hungry at 192 but really impressive. I put it up on all of the tracks and just treat it like a desk. I’m a fan of the Slate stuff as well—I like the flexibility of their modular...
