Audio / Video Library / Recall Sessions: Pentavirate / Mix it yourself
Mix the Pentavirate Session
Anthony Da Costa and Russell Durham with a full band at Pentavirate Studios, Nashville, recorded by Bobby Holland. Thirty-two raw tracks, every ribbon straight into an Undertone Audio MPDI-4, no EQ anywhere. Pull up the mics, A/B the alternates, solo the room. Press play to load the stems (about 61 MB).
What you're hearing
Raw tracks straight off the converters: no EQ, no compression, no reverb. Your fader and pan moves are the whole mix. A safety limiter sits on the master so thirty-two tracks at once won't clip your speakers.

The chain under every ribbon on this session
Every Royer on the floor fed an Undertone Audio MPDI-4 preamp, then Lynx converters and an API The Box 2 console. Nothing else touched the signal, which is why the stems are this clean to mix.
Download your mix as a WAV, drop it in your DAW, and finish it with the plugins Eric Valentine built from his own hardware: the MPEQ-1 for tone and the UnFairchild 670M II for glue. Both come with a 14-day free trial.
