Tutorial Details

• Difficulty: Intermediate
• Time: 20 minutes
• Requirements: Any DAW

Bus processing is a great way to immediately lift any group of instruments, giving them more presence, clarity and punch. In this tutorial I’ll show you how a simple chain of processors can help to enhance even the most basic drum mix.

We’ll cover buss compression, corrective and creative equalisation, saturation, transient design and finally limiting. This combination of processors should give you a good idea of where to start when constructing similar channel strips.
