Hello, I could recommend one more thing. Instead of compressing the orchestral Bus with the ext. Key (voice) and the SoftTube Tubetech, prefer the HOFA Dynamique EQ and compress the frequency you need to let the voice been in front . Then , the compression is not apply to the all signal but to the vocal frequency Range, which is better to keep low frequency and clarity if you need to compress strongly. (Sorry for english mistakes)
dude... astonished... never thought of using sidechain processing like this... powerful effect in this chorus with the vocal sidechaining! I'll try all of them! One more epic episode, David! Still amazes me how much i'm learning in your channel! Thanks, bro!
Another fantastic video David. Thanks. Please try to "level match" when using the compressor (the tube-tech was louder with the compressor engaged). It helps us to hear the effect more precisely.
4:20 that half db makes a huge difference love it; vocals really come out. You could also reverse the order and have the vocal compression first or would it be less effective?
***** Did some experiments and found that it changes dynamic relations between instruments in very interesting way, you can make song more "colorful" instead of being more flat like compressed radio mixes.
Another variation on the "voice over music" compression technique, will be to route the music mix to its own return bus, and then, have the voice triggered compressor just trigger that bus,. Then, mix the vocal bus ( should include the vocal EFX) and the triggered music bus into the 2 mix bus,... In this way , the vocal will not work against itself......... Thanks for all you do, Mr. David....
Damn man. Watcging your videos really opened my eyes. You really share great info on mixing. Most of the videos on youtube say something like "cut 4kHz on guitars to remove harshness" :D While you're showing us how 1 dB of gain reduction makes a huge difference to the sound if used correctly :D Yourt channel is probably the best and most honest on youtube as far as mixing goes.
hey! Thanks for the video! Wanna say that you are one of the few not typical in a good way tutorial makers on youtube! Your tips and tricks have made my day!
Interesting technique. What's funny is that we often use the sidechain precisely because we don't want the bass to trigger the 2 bus compressor (multiband compression is often used in mastering for the same reason), yet here you are doing the exact opposite. Very interesting and thanks for sharing!
i was experimenting like this on a mix, but i send lots of elements to group and used as you did the group as the s/c trigger. I think a bit of k as well maybe snare ... wow please can you show more like this! How about multiband s/c on master. Thankyou for this video! Sounds great! As another person said it’s an epic difference. Maybe it should be set up at beginning and mix into it perhaps. Choices are sometimes just too many! I am definetely always gonna do this though! I recommend trying acustica-audio sand or pink for this
Awesome tip. I already have an idea for placing this first technique. Should work well with the MJUC as second compressor and a trumpet section sidechained :) Wow. The bass sidechained is a real game change.
Before you said you liked that bass-keyed stock comp, I thought to myself "he should keep this one in the final delivery" But hey, if you were going to do the vocal AND bass side chain, would you play with order of 2 compressors on the 2bus or would you send bass and vox both to the sc input of one single comp? Lastly, would it make sense to put this before the 2500 so that way if there are any spots that really move too much, the API will help even that out? Or are you afraid it will undo everything the side chain comp is doing?
hi david ! well i had to leave a comment on this one this mixbuss tip is very interesting ! and also im curently working on that very same song hehe such a nice glue with the bass trigger ! bro thanks a lot
Thank you so much. For an aspiring engineer and producer your channel and your wisdom are truly invaluable. Ill buy the shirt, like the page, and buy you a drink someday! keep it up!
With the premise that that practice is horrible, that's probably one of the rare cases in which I would use M/S compression, and try to find the right groove for mix and side so that it doesn't sound like you mixed a vocal on a 2track, which to use a metaphor is like putting a sticker on a car. I have full playlist on the subject th-cam.com/video/7jLv9Qnucqg/w-d-xo.html
This Channel is blowing my mind with every Video i watch. Not exactly the same Genre im intending to mix, but still applyable nonetheless. These Vids are Great! Subscribed!
Great video, awesome technique thanks so much. I think I inquired about this a while back. Nice to see the set up. I was applying it to a (Full Mix) track prior to the 2 buss.
You know that this can't be unseen right ? You can't take back the fact that you have shown us meer mortals a top secret pro trick like bass keyed 2 bus compression. THANK YOU !! You're awesome David.
side chain compression that is good great job bro...i do that with my songs to help the vocals cut through or other instruments base on song or effect i am looking for
I’ve never met you, but you’re my mentor. You alone are responsible for so much of my growth as an engineer. Thank you, David 👊
🙏
"it may be subtle"
EPIC DIFFERENCE
I've never even think about this. Actually a difference isn't so subtle, it makes the whole song sounds brighter, more "commercial". Thanks !
i love the idea of the vocal triggering the intensity of the compressor! Brilliant!
Side chain the mixbus with the bass is an absolutely game changer on rock/modern metal tracks for me! Thank you so much 🤘

the best mixing tips channel on TH-cam! Thank you, Sir!
The difference is huge!! The little bit of dynamic movement gives it so much life!
Holy jumping Cthulhu on a chop stick!!!
Best channel on mixing. Period!
Nice! I Have so many ideas with this techniques... Thanks David for share this.
Man, this solved two of my biggest problems in mixing! Thank you!
Hey man! You really rock! MixbusTV has become my no1 favourite channel. Thanks once more!
I am Amazed how powerful this technic is :D
It sounds so much better because it's louder. That's is a big part of it, though I do see the merit to the effect.
It does sound more Musical with this technique in fact, when you bypass the tube Tech the overall song sounds stiffer.
This is the best video on TH-cam EVER! Thank you.
You know every now and then I come back to these old videos, great stuff... thanks David
I watch your videos all the time, not because i dont know how to mix, but to help me get bettert..YOUR AMAZING!!
4:20 that half db makes a huge difference love it; vocals really come out. You could also reverse the order and have the vocal compression first or would it be less effective?
Thank you for this amazing tip :)
Fantastic! Now is time to experiment with it. Thanks a lot.

Mixing rap vocals to 2-tracks what would be your approach to mix bus compression? I have ssl and api2500 I’d appreciate any tips!!
