Hey Guys!
currently away from my studio until next week but I've been thinking about work flow ideas and wanted to run this by the group.
To anyone using a summing mixer how do you do your delay/reverb effects with them?
I'm currently splitting everything out (two apollo x16s) to a 32 channel capi sum bus - and returning it to the daw via a dangerous AD+ 2 chan convertor, before hitting the AD+ I will sometimes put some HW bus compression (stamchild mk2, stam SSL bus comp etc) on it.
My question is regarding effect sends like delays and reverbs. For some tracks where I don't put any HW between the apollo outs and the input of the sumbus I just apply a reverb or delay on the channel using the splitter tool in studio one and it acts as a wet/dry/aux type thing, and this works great. But lately I've been putting hw compressors or eqs between the apollo outputs and the inputs of the sumbus on some tracks like snare.
So this means I'm compressing or eq'ing a track that has blended verb already on it, not really ideal. So for these I am using some AUX plugin effect stereo sends and sending that to the sumbus, making it like an effect aux on a console.
My question, is there any reasons why sending multiple flavours of reverbs and delays to two stereo channels, like just having a Verb Dump and a Delay Dump (4 tracks in total on the sumbus) be a bad idea? Say having a plugin chamber verb aux, a plate aux, and a room aux all going to a single stereo channel on the sumbus?
I also have a few hardware effects (binson, fulltone, baldwin spring) that are taking up more slots so if I start busting out stereo channels for every single plugin effect as well, I would quickly eat up my remaining slots on the sum bus fast.
thoughts?
