UNIVERSAL 8-CHANNEL ANALOG SUMMING BOX – WORKS WITH ANY DAW INTERFACE!
Pro Tip: Push the instruments into the summing mixer at a higher level until you start hearing a subtle pleasant harmonic distortion. This will add warmth, depth, and better separation to your mix, giving it a more professional, polished sound—just like a finished record. The Headroom provides a safe place for transients, ensuring wide separation, clarity and punch in your mix.
The summing box is compatible with various interfaces such as Steinberg UR824, Focusrite, PreSonus, UAD Universal Audio, MOTU, RME, Apogee, Audient, Behringer, Native Instruments, Solid State Logic (SSL), Tascam, Avid, and many others. Summing for Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper, Bitwig Studio, Reason, Digital Performer, Cakewalk by BandLab, Nuendo, Mixcraft, Tracktion Waveform, Samplitude, Ardour, Renoise, GarageBand, LMMS and so on.

STM – Stereo or Mono Input Switch: It provides an extra stable Real Analog Mono Base for your mix (on monos like Kick/Bass/MainVox/Snare and so on), saving precious digital-to-analog (DA) channels (so you don’t waste stereo L/R for a mono instrument), and offers superior separation and 3D depth for the rest of your stereo instruments. This feature turns L/R inputs ‘COMBINED’ (two hard-panned L/R inputs) into an absolutely centered mono signal (1 x stereo to 2 mono). For example, ‘SNARE’ on channel 1 (left), ‘KICK’ on channel 2 (right). Mono instruments in the DAW sequencer (Steinberg cubase, pro tools, flstudio, reaper, logic pro, Ableton etc.) should place the kick hard left, the bass hard on the right, and so on. Stereo instruments: If you don’t use mono channels in your mix, simply turn down all the mono switches, and you’ll have a fully stereo analog summing mixer with panning options available from the DAW.

Mono Mode Routing from DAW:
-
In 1: Mono Kick
-
In 2: Mono Bass
-
In 3/4: Snare, hi-hats, some percussion → Stereo
-
In 5/6: Percussion, toms, synth blips, etc. → Stereo
-
In 7/8: Synths, effects, pads, guitars, piano, vocals, etc. → Stereo
Panning from DAW is available for 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8 stereo inputs.
Stereo Mode Routing from DAW:
-
In 1/2: Main Stereo tracks → Stereo
-
In 3/4: Kick, Snare, hi-hats, some percussion → Stereo
-
In 5/6: Percussion, toms, synth blips, etc. → Stereo
-
In 7/8: Synths, effects, pads, guitars, piano, vocals, etc. → Stereo
Panning from DAW is available for all stereo inputs.
Input Direct to Output or Input to Mix Switch – Select your desired stereo input from the drop-down menu. ( Choose the stereo input (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, or 7/8) where you’d like the switch to be assigned.)
Enables direct monitoring from your DAW interface by routing channels (by switch) either through the summing mixer (mixer mode) or directly to the main outputs. You don’t have to unplug your interface monitor in everyday work; you can keep it connected at all times to the summing mixer.
-
Down Position: Input signal is routed to the summing mixer for analog mixing (standard summing operation).
-
Up Position: Input signal is sent directly to the master outputs at full volume.
Important:
-
the other summing channels remain active. These channels need to be muted in the DAW.
You can get as many channels and options as you want, so let’s build your gear!

the magic happened—a wide stereo panorama and a unique analog mojo
I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical about passive summing at first. But as soon as I started working with it and pushed the inputs, the magic happened—a wide stereo panorama and a unique analog mojo emerged as I drove the inputs a bit over their nominal level.
It did take a little time to find the right signal balance, but analog is much more forgiving, and thanks to the Headroom, I ended up with some truly amazing, real analog-sounding mixes.
I ordered a small summing unit made by VintageMaker, custom-built specifically for my interface (Focusrite 56). Before that, I tried all kinds of plugins, but once I hit a certain number of channels, my mix would collapse. But with analog summing, that just doesn’t happen—at least in theory, there’s no channel limit because everything adds up in analog.
The way I usually work is by sending the instruments into the summing mixer at a higher signal level—up to the point where I hear a slight, pleasant harmonic distortion. This method adds warmth, depth, and better separation to the mix, helping me achieve a much more professional, polished sound—just like a finished record. The headroom provides a safe space for transient peaks, resulting in a wide stereo image, clarity, and punch in the mix. And most importantly, the mix doesn’t fall apart! The separation between instruments is excellent! No wonder the pros say everything used to be better back in the day :)
Just kidding—sort of—but my mixes really do sound much nicer now.
