Mix bus processing is the third step of my 6 step mixing process. Mix bus processing is the first step where you’ll be using plugins. We do this before diving into individual tracks because it’s great for making a lot of progress on your mix in a short space of time. Being able to enhance the overall sound and even fix some general tonal issues so early on is very rewarding. It helps to increase your confidence in your abilities to mix your music and it helps to guide your mixing decisions for the rest of the mix.

Let’s get mixing!
