There are many things going on in the track and many instruments going at once. There are many ways to make a track and also many ways to publish the track. Lets look at the project and talk about what we have there.
Bass | Track
We have 3 sub instruments and they are going to the Bus Group. We’ve mixed them together and this compressor on the group has a side chain with the kick. Its an audio recording of a bass guitar, a sub synthesizer and also a 808 sample.
Drums
We have these vst drum tracks and they are grouping into the Drum Group. We’ve gain staged all the tracks and also gain staged the busses. Here we have an effects chain for the drum group that we made by altering an effects chain preset from Cubase.
Guitars
This project has 3 guitars and we’ve created an effects chain for each guitar. These guitars also go to a group track and we also have an effects chain that we made for the guitar group. We could maybe tweak the reverb settings or change it to another reverb plugin.
Group Effects Chains
These groups enhance the tracks with things like eq, compression, delays and reverb. They level out the overall volume going to the master bus and give it a clear sound. Its good to tweak the effects on the chain and save new presets for the next projects.
Master Bus Track
We checked the original signal going to the master bus with supervision and added a brickwall limiter to tame the peaks. After that we used an eq to cut frequencies and then an eq to boost frequencies. After that theres a compressor, then a saturator, then an imager and then finally the limiter. Now we can export the track from Cubase and publish it online.
