#129: Pre-Fader vs Post-Fader: What's the Difference? Unlocking the Mystery with 3 Music Mixing Tips


Listen Later

Ever been frustrated with when to use a pre-fader send? Maybe you're seeking answers to the questions: what are post sends used for, whether reverb should be pre or post-fader,  or even just post-fader vs pre-fader and what's the difference? Then check out EP 129 of the Inside The Mix podcast.

Have you ever had one of those moments that just grips you—an unexpected cover song that just blows you away? That happened to me with Alison Chains and Gretchen Wilson's rendition of "Barracuda," and it led me down this fascinating rabbit hole of musical exploration. On a personal note, I'm buzzing with excitement to share tales from my recent 90-day Producer Bootcamp, a whirlwind of growth and creativity culminating in my EP release last December. Plus, I've got a little surprise for our loyal listeners: we're sprucing up our podcast artwork to reflect the essence of our audio adventures!

Now, let's get to the nitty-gritty of music production that's had many of you scratching your heads—the enigmatic world of pre-fader and post-fader sends in mixing. Stripping down the complex to the comprehensible, I'm serving up some practical wisdom with three illustrative examples that'll shine a light on the optimal use of these powerful tools. You'll get the scoop on how pre-fader sends are your allies in dynamic processing and why post-fader sends are the secret sauce for those lush time-based effects. So, come along for an episode that's as much a masterclass as it is a conversation—because when you chime in with your questions, we all learn something new.
