In 2001, Steven Slate made his mark in the analog summing world by commissioning Roll Music Systems to design and manufacture a custom analog summing box that was later named the FOLCROM.

Over the past ten years, multiple audio manufacturers have produced simplified analog summing boxes that allow DAW users to get the benefits of analog mixing without having to use a full fledged analog desk. The separation and imaging from the analog summing is very apparent, especially when your track count gets high" remarks mixer Jay Baumgardner (Papa Roach, Evanescence). "When you mix through an analog desk you get this life and body to the sound that just doesn't happen when you mix inside the workstation. Audio engineers rely on analog mixing to provide the nonlinear musical qualities that digital mixing does not produce.
