My band recently recorded some songs using SONAR6; we're still somewhat newbies with the software. We're to the mixing point and I've just recently introduced the idea of using a bus rather than dumping effects into each tracks FX bin.
I guess one of my questions is what is a typical bus set-up for the following:
drums
2 rhythm guitars
1 lead guitar
bass
1 lead vocal
multiple back-up vocals
Do you organize different buses and/or do you have a "final mixdown" bus? If so what does it do in the context of your mixes?
I understand it is all very subjective, but just hoping a response might have me thinking in a better organized direction.
I've also been reading up on using Parametric EQ in terms of a high pass filter for frequencies not necessary. Do you typically utilize this in the channel strip of each track, or do you set-up somthing in the respective bus (e.g. a vocal bus)? Or does it become its own bus entirely?
Thanks for all replies
