Im using Waves Gold and Wavelab. Of the following processors I am wondering about the order. I know there are no hard "rules." I also realize some processors are more appropriate depending on which phase of recording you are at.
I am especially wondering where the Stereo Imaging should go? Before or after EQ and Compression or in the middle?
Compression
Equilzation
Reverb
Stereo Imaging
Gating/Expanding
DeEsser
When tracking what is the order of the above?
And when mastering what is the order?
You should only need a teeny weensy bit if EQ at the mastering stage if any. I find that I almost always use the C-4 (just a teeny bit) and the L-1 Ultra (and I dont go as deep as the manual suggests as it kills the dynamics) But if I want to stick in the Stereo Imager in this phase to either make the bass a bit more full or alter the image, where should it go? Before or after the C-4?
