A Sarcastic Statement
Hi there,
Maybe because I'm not at my DAW right now and/or because I'm just not thinking of it simply enough, but how can I send only one side of a stereo buss out,one at a time. To elaborate...
I have great multi-track mix going. To the common practice in order to make the mix a little punchier, I sent just the kick, snare, toms and bass guitar to an auxiliary bus and added some crushing 1176 parallel compression to that bus. It really phattens things up, as you may have experienced. I feel like I want some more dirt, I need to crunch it up a little bit. I've tried a few different plugins to achieve this and am getting that dreaded harsh cold distortion typically caused by the digital-world. I have a GAP pre 73 (neve 1073 pre amp clone), but just one channel. So I thought I'd send the bus out to THAT and overdrive it there a little to warm it up and phatten it up even more, then back into the DAW and blend with original drum/bass guitar mix to taste.
So with just one channel, if I want the buss to remain in stereo, how should I go about this? I know that I should send just the left channel out to the 73, print it in the DAW, then do the same for the right. But how to do this? Having a brain fart here.
Any help gladly appreciated! Thanks!
