but I still don't understand the need of a sub-bus.

IIRC, his Sub is mostly for the split routing.

There's still a use for a SUBMASTER type bus though. I put all my final mix processing on mine (tape emulation, console saturation, stereo widening, and sometimes a gentle compression), and my MASTER bus has a freq analyzer and that's it. This way the MASTER bus is a clean path. It also means if I add any late-mix elements I can route synth outs to the MASTER and still have control of the whole mix with a single fader and MS controls.

One benefit to using sends is CPU usage reduction.

Another "soft" reason is that it'll help your mixes gel together a bit more. If you use 40 different verbs on different tracks with tweaked settings you might not get as cohesive of a soundstage than if you routed all your tracks to the same verb with varying levels of intensity.

Is there a reason why you use a lowshelf as a highpass filter in your mixing template instead of using an actual highpass filter ?

A highpass filter is more 'severe'. I guess that my mastering background makes me gravitate toward more gentle EQing.

Hiya, Jonas!

Thanks SO much for the template. It's really nicely done.

I think I've seen "Mix it like a record" discussions on other threads that mention your template as a great starting point.

You've used the "tape saturation" and "analog console" vsts as return effects rather than across the main (or submain) bus. I seem to recall Dye using these across the final output in his setup. What motivated you to keep them separate rather than across the main bus?

(or does it really matter!?)

Sweet Jonas, ill take a look at them both, using ozone with sonar 7....thanks

It's been awhile since I've cracked this template open, but I recall that there are a pair of Cakewalk Tape Sims (?) in the splitter configuration.

Ok. thanks again Jonas !!! It's the first time i see someone using a low shelf like that.... i will be making tests to see wich one i like better... but in the end, no matter what happens, it's a new trick in my tool box ;)

You're a very generous guy, Jonas, and my projects have benefitted from your work. Thanks very much

+1!

I've also passed it onto a couple of other Sonar user friends of mine. Many thanks!

I thought this was nothing more then a bumbed old thread. Now I have to say THANKS again Jonas.
