preamble: please don't respond with 'whatever sounds best' ... WE KNOW
many of you, including myself have probably started noticing layering FX in a certain order really can get desirable sounds. what i want this thread to be is an almost 'i noticed when i put the compressor before the EQ this time, my kick shined thru'
So let it be told, list some sequences you've come across recently that has really made a difference:
Kicks: Compressor, Bit-Crush, EQ - able to get gritty kicks at ideal levels
Basslines: EQ, Compress, Saturation/Distortion - never had basslines come thru the mix so clean and so distorted. I use to always put the Saturation as 1st but that was a mistake
i'll list more when i get home... your turn |

| I love the eq and compression before saturation/distortion. I tried that on my last track with antares tube and my bassline just sounded so natural with the rest of the instruments. If I come across anything else I'll write it down. |

| Lately i've been much into parallel sequences of effects. Keeping a raw unprocessed input sound on one mixer insert and then sending a copy of the signal to another insert where i begin with a delay or a reverb for example on which i cut out all the dry. Then i can do whatever i want with my delay or reverb without affecting the original sound. Instead of messing with effects units with a lot of built-in functions i like to create my own effects by combining different basic effects. It could be simple stuff like putting a chorus on the reverb or a phaser on the delay. |

Damn, there goes my "oh so witty" :tongue2 answer.
Should put some in here if I remember next time I'm in the studio. |
