There are several DAWs, including Bitwig and Ableton Live, that allow you to “group” tracks together. If you have several drum channels (kick, snare, hats, toms, etc.) playing in the DAW that you are using, it would be wise to send and route them to a drum bus, onto which you could then apply some warmth or glue with mix bus compression. This may sound daunting, but allow me to provide an example to clarify. But rest assured, readers: the term “bus,” in this case, does not refer to a 33,000-pound vehicle, but to an audio channel that allows a multitude of audio signals to pass through it.īuses are used to apply general processing to the mixed signal, so as to achieve a more cohesive effect over a particular range of instruments.
The word “bus” may sound foreign to many beginner- and intermediate-level music producers who were not raised during the good old days of analog mixing on consoles.
