There I was, three years of audio digital engineering to my name and wondering why nothing I bounced ever sounded as good as what I heard in the session itself. Inside my DAW, the mix would feel wide and sound impactful. Then, I’d render the track, and find myself gut-punched by the washed-out sound of the finished product. Lifeless. Harsh. Unacceptable.
What is a summing mixer anyway?
A neophyte still—and banging my head against the digital wall of fixed-point architecture, where harsh digital clipping can be an immutable problem—I called up

Music production has, for the most part, gone small. Large-format consoles, massive 2-inch tape machines, and stacks of outboard gear are no longer the only way to produce quality tracks. Realistically speaking, many (if not most) home studios consist of a laptop, which get consistently smaller every few months, a small interface, a MIDI controller, and a pair of monitors. This is true especially of electronic music, where, even as the pendulum swings back to using external synths and drum machines, the focus is on keeping them small.

That’s a great idea!” exclaimed my manager as he went over the pitch-sheet for this article. “But—and don’t hate me for this—you’re way too old to write it.”
Running a hand through my thinning brown hair, I replied, “whatever do you mean?”
"In the time since you've graduated," he said, "you could've gone to college again. Twice." Here he suspended two fingers in the air. “Twice.”
He was right. Moreover, my prospective list of collegial gear hadn't aged very well; at the top was a Boss BR1180 Recorder, which, these days, makes for an absolutely

I have been a big fan of Roland for many years. My first synthesizer was the Roland SH09 that I purchased in 1997. I still have it, and it is one of my most prized possessions. I’ve had several analog and digital synths come and go over the years, but the SH-09 has been very dear to me. I’m a bit of analog-synth geek, so when I was offered to try out the Roland JD-Xi synthesizer, I jumped at the chance. Roland has been very busy with research and development,
