Analog summing can take your mixes to the next level. Here’s why it’s worth it:
- Bigger, warmer sound – Analog gear naturally adds depth and character that digital mixing can’t fully replicate.
- Better stereo separation – Instruments sit more clearly in the mix, creating a wider and more immersive sound.
- More headroom, less harshness – Analog summing helps prevent digital clipping and smooths out the overall tone.
- Professional polish – The subtle harmonics and warmth of analog summing give your tracks that “record-like” finish.
If you want your mixes to sound fuller, richer, and more natural, analog summing is the way to go.

Customer review:
As an audio engineer, I’m always on the lookout for gear that can improve the sound quality of my recordings. Recently, I had the pleasure of testing out the custom passive summing box mixer designed for Apollo x8 – x8p by VintageMaker, and I must say I was blown away by the results.
The mixer features 10 inputs and 4 outputs, allowing me to sum multiple channels of audio from my Apollo interface into a stereo mix. The balanced analog signal path provides a warm and natural sound, with excellent clarity and depth.
One of the things I love about this mixer is its simplicity. It’s a passive design, which means there are no active components to introduce noise or coloration. It simply sums the signals together, allowing me to achieve a more cohesive and musical sound.
The build quality of the mixer is excellent, with a sturdy metal chassis and high-quality connectors that feel solid and reliable. The unit is also compact and portable, making it easy to take with me on location recordings or to use in a home studio setup.
Overall, I would highly recommend the custom passive summing mixer designed for Apollo x8 – x8p by VintageMaker to any audio engineer looking to improve the sound quality of their recordings. It’s a fantastic piece of gear that delivers excellent results and is built to last.

Why do you need custom studio summing mixer?
1. No need to invest in costly preamps or expensive outboard gear.
2. Perfectly fit with your current DAW interface sound card preamp.
3. You have the freedom to order as many channels and extras as you want.
4. You receive exactly what you need, without any superfluous features.
5. You get the best sound quality equipment, the highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and maximum Headroom for your audio recordings.
How it works the “magic” in the analog summing?
It’s simple physics. The analog summing mixer adds extra analog harmonic content and provides a safe zone for your instruments, seamlessly mixing transients and harmonics without any loss of quality, thanks to what is known as ‘Headroom’.
Headroom safeguards your sound and preserves the individual clarity and positioning of instruments in the panorama field, resulting in a wide and deep 3D sound. By sending higher volume audio signals to the summing inputs and introducing gentle analog harmonic distortion, you can retain and capture the essential harmonics in the SUM BUS, which are subsequently combined into a master stereo track. Then, you can send it to a preamp for the main recording, adding the color of Unison preamp emulation read more…

ANALOG SUMMING BENEFITS OVER DIGITAL
1. Your mix won’t collapse like in-the-box (ITB file print does)
2. High Instrument Separation in the panorama field with wide, Deep wide 3D sound
3. Increase UAD Apollo (DAW) outputs and you’ll get a pleasing, subtle analog harmonic distortion during the summing process.
4. Add different final color – sound character by your Apollo Unison Preamp Emulation

Hi Paul. Finally Got everything working. I watched all the videos. I was floored with the mono 1/2 function. Putting all your mono sources like vocals, bass, kick literally blew me away.
It’s unbelievable the separation you get and for me just mixing in the daw alone I couldn’t get that same sound to cut through with massive punch separation and clarity. It is magical what it does. With that said my music is heavy rock almost metal and I love hard panning guitars left and right and they got super wide. Brought a huge smile to my face. I felt like I unearthed some secret lol…Everything sounds so glued and separated at the same time. THis is a game changer for me when it comes to mixing. My mix sounds great with only using a couple plugins with barely any effects. The only thing I was having a small issue was routing some bus effects but I figured that out. Other than that I am so glad I found you guys. The price is perfect and for what this amazing Box can do it is worth it all day. If you have any suggestions that could help me more please let me know. If my system ever grows bigger I will buy a bigger box for sure. Other than that, your communication skills, professionalism and turnaround time was perfect. I will definitely share Vintage Maker to all my musician friends and social media. Thank You so much and Take care.

Hey Paul, I’ve been using the little one 8 for a few months now and have a few thoughts to share with you. First of all, the build quality is great, and the paint and engraving are top-notch. As far as the components go, everything has performed flawlessly. The switches are all silent and the connectors have remained tight and functional after plugging in and out of them numerous times. Ive mostly been using 6 of the channels with bass and kick being mono, instruments and rest of drums stereo. Love the subtle character it adds.
Thanks,
Sam
Hello! Can you send to Ukraine, and what is the price?
Dear Serhy, Let me check, hope can find solution for shipping from EU to Ukraine. Best. Paul

I have heard many times that analog mixing is not worth it anymore, as a plugin can do the same job. Well, the truth is that those people are mistaken because they don’t know the essence of it…
so I don’t want to argue – everyone decides what’s best for them 🙂 However, one thing to consider is that (ITB) digital summing equals mathematical summing, which results in distortion above 0dB.
Analog summing allows for going above 0dB thanks to headroom, providing a safe zone for your transients without risking clipping. Here’s where the magic happens: higher signals on the summing inputs create gentle analog distortion, which generates some really nice harmonics above 0dB. It’s impossible to achieve this in the box (ITB).
So, it’s nothing special – just simple physics. 🙂
PS. I’m extremely happy with my passive analog summing, which I call ‘littleBustard’ thanks Paul!
