I don't use a mix template per se but I do have custom presets (Ken's default) for most of my plugins.
Since I started mixing my students projects I have made presets for each kid's general sound. They are all recording with just one cheap mic and some of them are even just doing it with the built in laptop mic. *1 mic on a drum kit - get your head around that. So yeah, I have these starting points for what I need just to get it in the ballpark. Mostly channel strip (EQ and gain), compression and reverb. Also a few drastic 'correction' plugins like autotune, a general enhancer (eq, comp, resonance) and a quick and dirty mastering plug (bx_masterdesk). I make a preset for what each kid/instrument usually requires to get it sounding decent. Having starting points definitely makes things go a lot faster. *I also don't have a ton of plugins. I have way too much gear for one guitar player and I refuse to go down that road with recording and plugins.

Very interesting!
It's fun to see him so excited when explaining he can go back to previous settings with his setup 😅 |

Bottom line, you can't beat simple!
Nice share Todd, thanks. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight. It comes in instalments; you get a little bit today, a little bit tomorrow until the whole package is given out. The day you procrastinate, you lose that day's success.” Israelmore Ayivor |
