It's become a big part in how mix engineers get their sound, and so I thought I'd share a little video going over what plugins I use for my master bus, and how I set them up. Take a look and feel free to share what you use on your bus.

Featured plugins include:

Slate Digital's Virtual Channel Collection, Virtual Tape Machine and Virtual Bus Compresser

Massey's L2007 Limiter

Brainworx bx_hybrid and bx_meter

Maag EQ4

- Not long after this video was shot I picked up the Clariphonic DSP plugin from Kush Audio. I've only had it for a couple days, but it seems like an amazing tool for adding high end sheen to things. So far I've been using it in place of the Maag EQ. It's not a normal EQ, in that it works only on the upper mids and top, and it does so in parallel. It's almost scary how much high end you can add without it sounding weird. It sounds so natural that it's effect is really only noticeable when you bypass it and everything sounds dull.

I guess it goes to show you how right I was when I said in the video that these plugins on my master bus can change next week. Always be open to changing things up!
