welcome to sage audio today we're
covering how to mix buzz process to get
the most from your music watch the
entirety of each chapter for a complete
understanding of the topic how to eq
your mix bus before we start covering
processing your mix bus i want to make
it clear that the chapters i'm covering
in this video are in no particular order
they're not part of a chain but just
valuable info to help you make more
informed decisions when mixing if we eq
our mix bus we have the power to
drastically alter the sound of our mix
with that in mind amplify or attenuate
no more than 3 db personally i enjoy the
sound of boosting the high frequencies
with the shelf by about 1 to 2 db
another idea is to use a mid side eq and
use a high pass filter on the lows to
make the low frequencies more mono i
personally enjoy a 6db per octave slope
for this cut and will lower the center
frequency so that the cut just slightly
affects the low mids let's take a listen
to an eq on a mix bus
[Music]
compressing a mix bus
like equalization compression can do a
lot of damage if used excessively on the
mix bus so be sure to attenuate your
signal no more than one to two db
if you just want to control your peaks
set an attack of 10 milliseconds and
release of 50 milliseconds to retain
detail if you want a more cohesive sound
or what's often called mixed glue use a
longer release time of about 150 to 250
milliseconds
also if it's available use a bus or
mastering algorithm a little bit of look
ahead and some over sampling all of
which will reduce distortion in
different ways let's take a listen

if you have a mix that you need mastered
send it to us to receive a free mastered
sample of it with the link in the
description how to saturate a mix bus
with the saturator we can subtly
compress our mix and add harmonics the
compression will typically be soft knee
and a little slower so it's going to
glue the sound together a bit the
harmonics will make the mix sound louder
and fuller and can vary depending on
what emulation you choose
tube and transformer emulation often
results in a warmer sound due to the
second order harmonics whereas tape
affects the mid and high mids a bit more
again use this effect subtly also if
it's available i'd recommend using at
least 2x over sampling let's take a
listen
[Music]
[Music]
is crosstalk a good idea crosstalk
occurs when your left and right channels
bleed into one another causing some of
the right channels info to be on the
left and vice versa this results in a
somewhat blended sound but can also
widen the stereo image you can use this
effect subtly that said don't conflate
or confuse this effect with delay-based
stereo imaging which delays one of your
channels to cause expansion in my
opinion
delay-based stereo imagers should never
be used on a mixbus let's take a listen
to how crosstalk affects the mix

preamp on the mixbus if you want your
mix to have a vintage sound try preamp
emulation although these are marketed as
going on individual channels the
hardware they emulate was often used for
mastering back in the 60s and 70s
they'll mildly distort and shape the
frequency of your mix i like arturia's
emulation of the v76 for this but if
you've found another one that you enjoy
let me know about it in the comments
section let's take a listen to this
preamp
[Music]
can i add reverb to a mix bus in short
yes you can add reverb to your mix bus
however the effect should be incredibly
subtle about one to two percent mixed in
otherwise your mix is going to sound
washed out i like to emulate a studio
when i'm doing this since it adds
cohesion in a way that makes sense more
times than not i'll avoid adding this
effect to my mix butts but some
engineers enjoy adding it in let's take
a listen to it

change your mind
meta plug-in on the mixbus if you plan
on processing your mixbus with effects
that don't offer over sampling i'd
recommend trying meta plug-in which lets
you house all of your effects within the
plugin and create your signal chain
accordingly up top we notice that we can
introduce oversampling to the entire
chain i'd recommend this if you're using
a saturation plug-in that doesn't
include over sampling since this is
going to be the main cause of unwanted
aliasing distortion in most cases let's
take a listen

subtle golfos
if i could only add one processor to my
mixbus i choose the master version of
the golfoss eq an intelligent eq that
shapes the signal based on predetermined
ideal levels for maximum perceivability
subtle settings like 10 on recover and
tame can really help a struggling mix
since the effect can't be replicated
manually i don't feel too guilty using
it on a difficult mix let's take a
listen to it
[Music]
