With parallel processing are you effectively doubling up each instrument, except one track is processed? Apologies if that's a dumb question. Thanks for sharing.

@GrumpyOB1 I'm not sure I understand the question but I think the answer is no if I do understand the question! Err, hope that helps

Has anyone got a link to his YouTube channel?

@GrumpyOB1 yes through using bus channels, it gives you a better control over the mix as a pose to processing the instrument channel directly. usually you don't double every instrument but group them together with similar sounds (drums, guitars, vocals etc)...

thx for the tute.. id probably wind up the attack a little bit on the pp kick so the 'snap' of the kick comes thru but i guess its just personal preference...cheers again!
