In this video, I'll show you some of my favorite goto #plugins in my #masterbus #signalchain for #mixing. Mixing is an art all unto itself. Each step is a tiny dab of paint on the canvas of a song, moving towards a level of completion that sounds as good as it feels. And when it comes to your master buss signal chain, there’s not a more significant final brushstroke.
