Mix Magazine just did a review on this. They mixed in the box then combined those stems together using the Pro Tools mixer, the software mixer in Harrison’s Mixbus DAW, the UNIT, and two analog consoles (SSL 4000E and an API Legacy Plus), with faders set at 0 dB VU.
The Verdict
When it comes down to it, summing outside of the box is undeniably popular, and
engineers are looking for that sound. Some passive summers, like the Shadow Hills
Equinox include the makeup gain pre-amplifier which drives up the cost significantly.
Meanwhile, the UNIT is about a third of the price of the ROLL Folcrom, and does the
same thing, minus some unnecessary routing switches. While this product is not going
to be as clean as an active summing amp, it does provide an interesting sound, which,
for many musical applications may be just the kind of thing you are looking for. Certainly
it is a different character than a mathematic mixer, and if your mixes are stuck in a rut,
this might be just the thing to help you think outside of the box.
