What
is
the
proper
amount
of
level
to
send
through
the
channel
and
mixbuss?
There
is
no
right
answer.
Any
signal
that
travels
through
the
plugins
will
gain
the
nonlinear response of the particular channel. On some desks, you can experiment by
sending all your channels to a few stereo busses, and then using those busses to send to
the mixbuss. This way, you can hear the effect of driving more level into the virtual
mixbuss. You may or may not like the sound of the modeled mix amps as they reach
their
threshold
and
start
to
saturate...
Use
your
ears
to
judge.
Can
I
put
the
channel
plugin
on
the
last
insert
to
simulate
going
through
outboard
gear
before
the
console?
There
is
no
rule
that
says
you
must
put
the
channel
plugin
on
the
first
insert.
The
last
insert will work fine. We do recommend putting the mixbuss plugin as the first insert on
the
master
fader
for
most
authentic
replication
of
the
hardware.
