Episode show notes:

In the episode on piano recordings and sparse arrangements we briefly talked about using bus processing to glue things together and keep things a little more organic. Today we want to explore this further. 

Let's discuss what bus processing is and how it can help you achieve a more cohesive and polished sound in your mixes!
 

On this episode, we explain exactly how we use bus processing in our own mixes. Routing, plugins, plugin order, settings and, of course, the reasons behind our decisions, based on the context of the mix.  

Bus processing is just one tool in your mixing toolbox, and it should be used in conjunction with other techniques (clean up, shaping of important individual tracks, etc.) to achieve the best possible results.

  

Let's go!
