Mix Bus Processing on an Analog Console

201 Audio

Description

Jeff dives into his master bus processing on his analog mix using outboard gear. The SSL Fusion and the SSL Bus+ are used to add glue, saturation, and EQ to the overall mix. This enhances clarity and width. It’s entirely possible to achieve a polished master mix without built-in plugins.

Master Bus Processing

On an analog desk, outboard gear is needed for master bus processing due to the lack of built-in plugins. Jeff’s gear of choice for this mix is the SSL Fusion and the SSL Bus+ for polishing off the mix. The left-right mix goes into the SSL Fusion, then to the Bus+ and finally to the PA.

Overall Processing

It’s important to take note of what the mix sounds like with and without the processing units engaged. Play the mix with and without processing to hear the changes in clarity, width, and cohesion across your mix.

Practical Insights

External master bus processing has many benefits but ultimately is optional for your mix.

External processing adds sparkle, thickness, and clarity to the mix.
Analog desks lack built-in plugins so it’s a great idea to explore what outboard gear can add to the mix.
