It is one of the most discussed topics in audio, and often one of the least understood. How many times have you heard "This is the best 2 bus compressor" or "This EQ really shines on the mix bus!"? But does that mean that it is the rightpiece of gear for the material that you are working on?
In this pureMix.net exclusive, Grammy Award Winning Engineer Fab Dupont explains his approach and philosophy to 2 bus processing, breaking down each step of his chain and the role it plays toward creating a tone for the track.
Learn how Fab sets up his two bus chain with:
High Pass Filtering and EQ
Precision EQ
Compression and how it can affect the relationship of all of the elements in the mix.
Color EQ
Limiting
Once you have seen how Fab does it, download the mix he is working on and use what you have learned to create a 2 bus processing chain that works for you!

I would love if you didn't stop the track and started it again when A/B..especially with that crash it really takes me ears away from the previous version. Other than that, very nice and informative video! I made myself a Mixbus Rack in Ableton with this idea + a few different compressors that is mapped to snapshots so that I can quickly A/B them without any interruptions :)

Nice workshop! I find matching levels by ear very difficult, so I use a meter before the limiter.

Very nice. After your Cambridge EQ, I thought "he cut too much" and indeed you went back! Thanks for improving my ears with all the lessons.

Great video! But i need to understand the difference between mix buss processing and mastering. So if I will send my mix to a mastering engineer do I need any processing on the final buss before printing my mix?

I watched this several times to really understand your theory approach with the 2 bus...it finally sunk in and makes a lot of sense..Having all these UAD plugins shown, I will try this. I'm sure I will see better results. Thanks Fab

Thank you very much. This kind of minimalistic technique, when you make just a few little things, but each one is absolutely precise, is something we really need to learn (not only in music, as you say).

Fab is the best teacher! Great practical video once again!
