What kind of processing do you use on your mix bus?

Published: Fri, 12/15/17

I asked the Audio Issues Facebook followers a question about their master bus processing the other day.

They did not disappoint in their answers and it was interesting to see the diverse responses.

I thought you might want to get some ideas from your peers so I wanted to share their 2-buss processing with you.

If you'd like to share your own, feel free to add to the comments here.​​​​​​​

My Go-To Mix Buss Processing

In case you're interested, here's what I keep on my mix buss template:

  • UAD API Vision Channel Strip
  • Multi-band Compression
  • A Pulteq style EQ (for my weird low-end frequency tightness trick)
  • Waves Vitamin (for all around parallel EQ, compression and saturation)
  • Limiting

In addition to my metering plug-ins, like my highly recommended and trusty Dynameter, those plug-ins can really help me get a rough mix sounding more like a record before I even start working on the individual tracks.

In fact, the man behind Dynameter, Ian Shepherd from Production Advice, is running a incredibly rare One-Day-Christmas-Sale on his Mastering EQ and Mastering With Multiband Compression courses for the next 18ish hours.

You can get both Mastering EQ and Mastering With Multiband Compression at 30% off right here.

These courses are almost never on sale so you have to act fast if you want to take advantage of this deal. I'm a huge Ian Shepherd fan and I can say from personal experience that both courses have helped me improve my EQ and compression skills.

Multiband compression was quite confusing to me before I watched his course, and now I use his Multiband Compressor Mastering Template on almost every mastering project I do.

There's no discount code needed and your satisfaction is backed by his 100% Money-Back Guarantee.

All you gotta do is go here and grab the bundle and save 30%

Cheers and have a great weekend,
