Other times, I’ll begin with little to no processing on the mix buss other than a safety limiter, which I’ll discuss later on.īeneath is a roundup of some my favorite mix buss plugins and how I use them.
#MIXBUS PLUGIN LOCATION PRO#
I have templates and track presets (in both Logic and Pro Tools) that allow me to quickly access mix buss signal chains, which I will usually mix into when I start a mix. Whenever I’m mixing, I don’t shy away from dressing up the mix buss with several of my favorite plugins, as my goal is always to create a deliverable that sounds as close to mastered as possible. It’s also essential to understand that your music might be better off by not applying anything to the mix buss if the processing is applied incorrectly, as heavy-handedness when using these tools can lead to lifeless, thin and harsh-sounding mixes. I want to stress that processing your stereo buss isn’t the same as mastering, but applying equalization, compression and saturation can afford you some of the qualities of commercially mastered music. Ever listen to your printed mixes and wonder why they don’t sound closer to your favorite records? If you’re not correctly applying processing to your mix buss (otherwise known as a 2-buss, master buss, stereo out, and more) you’re likely missing out on the punch, clarity, warmth, and overall volume found in professionally mixed and mastered releases.
