There are still many amazing engineers who put a compressor on the mixbus immediately. Im not that guy... just playing devils advocate. |
I don't think it's ridiculous. I normally work with a compressor on the master bus...
at the mix stage anyways. Always have.
the ME rarely adds "color" to the actual tracks and that's why people like myself work with a compressor on the buss... it adds glue that the ME doesn't.
obviously... working with a compressor on the bus is completely different than working with a "limiter" like the L2. Most mastering engineers would sway you away from using a limiter on the bus...
Though I don't use the pair of Rnc's I have on the master bus I'd say... try it and see if you like it. Are you working ITB? I'd also submit that there are plugs that might work better for glue than the rnc's will....
Part of the idea behind the design of the RNC was to design a cheap master bus compressor wasn't it??
