Mixed on Toft ATB-24 console with live fader rides, no automation, all channels calibrated with -20dBFS tone from PT outputs, TC Finalizer gain reduction meters used to gauge drive level.

 Entire mix returned to Pro Tools via Apogee Rosetta 800, TC Finalizer inserted (AES send-return) in record path, BBE 702 and Aphex 9251 exciters (analog send-return via Apogee 800 I/O)inserted after TCF. Recorded to stereo Pro Tools track. Normalized after recording. Exported as 320k/s .mp3

Analog mix 1032 notes:
Same as 1031 except changed order of analog mix processing to BBE>Aphex, with Aphex mix pots reduced to 11:00 from 2:00.  Mix 1031 sounded a bit thin, especially the snare.  Analog mix master fader reduced to -5dB reducing Finalizer and BBE>Aphex drive, PROC PT fader (record level) increased to +6.5dB, mix track output fader reduced to -10dB to avoid overdriving monitor return path.  Snare reverb shortened too.
