The TouchMix-16 is the perfect tool to multi-track record and mix the audio for live performance videos. Connect your USB hard drive to the TouchMix, press the “Play/Record” button, arm your tracks and hit record. Once you’re done recording, you can play back the tracks through the TouchMix and use the on board EQ’s, compressors, gates, reverbs, delays, etc., to make a great mix, and record the mix to a stereo wav file to be imported directly into your video editing program.
Art Padilla, guitarist and sound engineer for the band Hero’s Last Mission says, “It’s really easy to record with the TouchMix-16. The on board effects sound great and it saves time from importing into Pro Tools if we’re not recording overdubs or editing. For live performance videos it makes our workflow really fast. Videos are a big part of what we do and the TouchMix makes it that much easier.”

The band played the song three times, and used two camera’s to capture all three performances. They picked the best version of the song and mixed it in the TouchMix. Julian (drummer) edited the video and Art (guitarist) created the audio mix. Art sent Julian the final stereo mixed file via dropbox and Julian dropped it into Final Cut Pro, edited the video, and exported it for YouTube.
