Is anyone here successfully fully "Brauerizing" in Cubase?

Brauer doesn’t want to use the dynamics plugins that are cleaner than current hardware (because stuff like Aphex, GML, and Crane Song are gone) because he’s mostly just using them for distortion and then just route busses to separate distortion plugs as svart put it.

Brauer wasn’t using Aphex and Daking comps (which you can still get); he was using a hodgepodge of stuff for distortion in their rectifiers and internal amps. He doesn’t want to just find plugins that distort similarly and use them instead of half assed emulations.

I think it depends on how your workflow operates normally.

For an engineer like Brauer who is mixing a project where all the parts come to him fully realized, you can drop in the tracks and it does build a decent sounding mix very quickly. There have been some things that I've tried with studio recorded raw tracks and it can sound very radio ready in short order.

Remember though that these videos don't show all the work that's happening to clean up files, make sure timing is fixed, tuning vocals, etc. That work may or may not be done within this template structure.

A lot of us on the message boards will mix little by little as we create ideas and parts for our own music, or an artist we are working with. In that case you might not want to deal with all the complex options for his template. And you might not want to bounce out your individual tracks only to drop them into a different project file and start mixing again. 

After trying most all of the templates offered up on Pure Mix, I've learned a good deal from each of them. I've tried to copy each of them in Logic. They all have their strengths, and most of them are pretty similar when you look at the big picture. I think Brauer's is particularly tied to his experience with that SSL console and it's routing options. All the decisions are keeping him in that same set of choices. In a way the Schep's template is very similar, but the organization is more disciplined to keeping it like the SSL console.

The big mystery we've all had for so long with Brauer was, who actually owned the amount of outboard gear that he did to run everything through for a whole mix? Getting his results was an unknown because it was just a ton of gear that most would never own. Now that he's ITB, you realize it's not all that different from the other templates we've seen through these education outlets.
