Mixing and Mastering.
Right gotcha. What I did was EQ each snare track and then bounce to one snare track mixing in the seperate snare track volumes carefully. I did this with all tracks, guitars, vox etc. So i had less tracks to work with. I ended up with a track count of 24 but alot of those tracks were stereo so probably ended up with about 35 counting a stereo track as two tracks.bigbubba said:I started off putting all kicks into a bus. All snares into another bus. And all cymbals and hats into a third bus. And it made it really easy to apply general rules like EQ's and reverbs and so on. Also with 3 FX going into a bus you only see one block at the bottom of the FX window. Other wise you'll see 60 FX blocks or something. The project started out this way.
Now in ACID Pro 4, I generally don't use the same FX for more than either one instrument or instruments of one kind. Otherwise it will give me weird and sometimes noisy results. Also no two instruments thru the same FX if they're playing simultaneously or else it will give me extra noise that will be very annoying without being too audible. Took me a while to determine this initially.
So you see busses were not added just for the kick compression but also for all effect that will be applied to an instrument.I am so smart! S.M.R.T smart! - At the moment I have 19 busses. Sounds like a lot to me, to be serious for a minute about the point your brought up.
