Mix bus compression is one of those things that can elevate your mix, glue it together and give it that final professional polish. However, only if it is done carefully and with skill.
Compressing the mix bus can also turn your mix to trash and ruin everything very quickly if you mess it up.
In this video I show you how to approach and really nail mix bus compression. I also show you 2 of the most legendary compressors that have been used on the mix bus for decades, how I would set them up, and the differences between how the two units sound. Those compressors are the Focusrite Red3, and the legendary SSL Mix Bus Compressor.
