Hi Tom,

Thanks for the inspiring and informative video.

You talked about your effect tracks that allow you to quickly try out different effects on different elements of the mix.

Do you always start with the same effects as a template? If so, which are your go to’s?

Or do you create new specific effect tracks for each mix?

Cheers,
Marc

hi mark.
i have a few favorites but try to keep it random also…usually some kind of amp feeding a dly or verb. will rarely use a preset!
so something like PRO-Q INTO SANS AMP INTO DVERB. removing all high end above 5/6k and low below 200hz…
