AW: What plugs are on your Master Buss?

I used 3 - 6 plugins, now I have em-eq2 and a masterbus comp (hardware). It sounds so much better.

[sometimes slate VCC] -> [sometimes HPF super duper low] -> [the glue] -> [sometimes ferric if it's a rock mix]

Only thing that's pretty consistent is The Glue.

Super punchy. I hate squashed records with all the dynamics sucked out of my transients.

Depends on the track. L2 is pretty much a main stay, usually logics stock comp, sometimes the abbey road tg, vintage warmer, or the 76 black limiter.

That seems like quite a bit. Are you comp'ing your channels or doing a lot of it at the master buss?

Killah - that API 560 is taking ALL the low end out if your master bus? I'm usually gradually rolling off 30 on down on my self- "mastered" stuff... I'll check out the tune on my monitors later. Thanks dude
