Introduction
Thank you for purchasing sum.mation - the first analog summing unit with
DAW driven automation. In our continued effort to bring the classic "big
studio" experience to the smaller project studio environment, we have
designed sum.mation to take full advantage of the incredible control that
DAW's have to offer, and combined that with superior analog automation
circuitry, for a classic analog mixing experience at a fraction of the cost
traditionally associated with this technology.
Why analog?
First and foremost, mixing in the analog domain eliminates the latency and
comb filter problems associated with digital mixing - especially when
parallel processing signals (drum mixing for example). Latency due to any
digital signal processing has been a problem since digital audio was
introduced. Many attempted solutions, or "work-arounds" have been
introduced, but the best solution is to avoid the problem all together.
Secondly, the sound of analog and the vast variety of colors it can
introduce has been sorely missed in digital. There's a reason why old
recordings sound the way they do, and frankly we like that. With
sum.mation, you're free to experiment with the many flavors that analog
mixing has to offer, and still retain the control of a modern, automated
mix.
What's In The Box
Inside the box you will find the sum.mation unit, an IEC AC power cord,
and a USB cable - that's it! There are no drivers to install as sum.mation is
class-compliant with both Mac OS and Windows. Also, in an effort to save
on land fill garbage, we've decided not to package the plug-ins on a disk,
but make them available as a download from the website. To get the
