Sending Parallel compression to the rear bus too?

Hi

I wonder if parallel compression/eq/distortion and so on should also be sent to the rear bus. I like the rear bus way of mixing, but I’m not sure if I should include the parallel tracks that I use on guitar, vocals, bass, keys, and everything else but drums. Right now I send from the busses wich is the parent track to all the child tracks BUT the parallel compression and all other parallels.

So I guess what I’m asking is, should I send the parallel tracks to the rear bus as well?

Just try it and see. From what I remember most of my parallel stuff doesn’t go there, but some does, Sorry I can’t be more specific, but it’s really just a listening thing. Unless you’re using a ton of parallel stuff it won’t make a huge difference, but it’s worth trying out.
