Chromed-out, pimped-out soft-clipping utility Mixer
The Threetom Modular MIXING FLASK is a utility mixer offering mix-bus limiting and a cornucopia of indicator lights integrated behind a unique chemical lab-inspired front panel.
I designed MIXING FLASK as a solution to my main three gripes with conventional utility mixers:
* Mixing too hot is too easy, leading to hard clipping on the mix-bus. And even when there’s an indicator light to warn you when this is happening, there are no features to actively prevent it.
* Utility mixers usually only offer unity gain, so when you have a weak input signal (like a MTM Radio Music), you’re out of luck
* They’re nauseatingly boring
MIXING FLASK provides solutions to these annoyances in the following ways:
* I’ve implemented a soft-clipping limiting circuit on the mix-bus (inspired by DOPPIO). The highest setting prevents the mix-bus from hard clipping altogether in favor of warm saturation.
* All inputs have a gain of +6dB allowing you to better equalize between volumes while maintaining a hot mix-bus output
* The myriad of indicator lights and front-panel graphics make you feel like a mad scientist in your own modular chemical lab. I bet you won’t find another utility mixer that makes mixing more exciting than MIXING FLASK!
These merchants probably sell this module. Huh?
