I built a plugin that replaces my entire mix bus chain, including my hardware bus compressor. This is BusRide.
In this video I walk you through every module, how it sounds on the mix bus, on instrument buses like drums, bass, guitars, and even vocals, and why I built it in the first place.
BusRide combines drive, compression, EQ, saturation, mono bass, and stereo width into one plugin designed specifically for the mix bus and instrument buses. Every module can be used independently or together. Gentle moves. Big results.
