A few years ago, software effects plug-ins never sound as good as the hardware outboard effects. But in recent years, when CPU power gets a lot better and faster than before, many mixing engineers do mix entirely in the box. This means all mixing are done virtually, all using computers.
For someone like me who definitely don’t have the budget to buy decent outboard effects, effects plug-in is the best alternative. We call this mixing “in the box”, referring to doing the mix completely within a computer, using a program such as Cakewalk Sonar, ProTools or Logic Audio.
I just want to let you know that I mix the song Understand entirely “in the box”. The software I use is Cakewalk Sonar.
Take a look at my track views screen shot below.
