What's on your Masterbus?

[TherSiteZ]

Dear forum readers,

Hi, I'm TherSiteZ, some of you will know me, some will not.
I just recently discovered this forum so hi to everyone!

Yes, I have searched the forum for this subject but could not find it.
So I decided to make this thread.
What I would like to know is, what is your favorite chain on the masterbus during mixing?
In the attachment you'll see my chain.
- I start of with the Audiomatic on Hi-Fi on a 70 transform and a 50% dry/wet. I love the sound.
- Then a stereo imager on bypass. When I want the mix to be wider.
- The I got the free Rock sound RE181 MID|SIDE Audio Convertor and added 2 EQ's so I have a MID|SID EQ on the master
- Then I split the audio. One goes in to the master out and the other goes tru a Pulveriser HP Filter and is feeded into the masterbus compressor. I find making EDM this is the best way to approach the masterbus compressor.

Please share your masterbus setup!

I try to get a good mix without Masterbus-Effects. I only use a small amount of Reasons SLL Masterbuscompression for some glue.

That's basically what I do too, but use side-chain filtering on the Master Compressor and will add a limiter at the end of the mix process.

Best results start with the best foundation IMO.

I have only an Mclass EQ with the 30hz cut enabled, and a Selig Gain for monitoring levels on the master. Also a bypassed compressor and limiter, for "premaster checking" occasionally.

I rewire reason into... but normally dont put anything on the masterbus in the mixing stage, unless i'm mixing someone else song and it needs a lot of work b4 mastering.

I use the SSL master compressor set to limit but with a very high threshold. I also put a stereo imager combinator so that I can collapse to mono to check for phasing and whatnot.

SSL master compressor
MClass limiter
A/B 12 Switch
Flower Power Loudness Meter
VU-Meter

I use all pass multi-band comb filter with integrated Haas effect. Very few relatively.
And Ozone.
If I need a master compression I use Comp 01: Attack 0, Release 127, Threshold is 0 (threshold in such a position is -8dB). When you add a bit ratio, your pit "without Drums" slightly increase the volume.
I also have a 3-band liveling combi.

I only use a mastering chain during my mixing process some of the time as a preview.

I do as much as I can to make it sound awesome then turn the bypass off and it sounds even awesomer.

Why do I feel like I'm about to be thrown under the master bus? There is no Reason for this. Insert smiley thingy...
