Hey hey,

Just depends really.

I developed my chain with time and recently I have always produced/mixed into it.

*It starts with NLS Summing Bus on SSL setting. A little bit of overdrive (+3).
* Then going into Fairchild Compressor (just for the sound) No compression
*J37 Tape to give more roundness to the bottom and soften top end
*API 2500 for some bus compression (max of 3 DB at the loudest point of the track)
*Pultec EQ boosting 60 or 100 and 10k or 15k
*Finishing off with Brainworx BX Digital (mono the low end up to 150HZ and spread the sides anything from 120-140). Sometimes some mid/side eq.

I find that when I mix into this chain i don't need to add too much EQ on the top and bottom. I'm trying to EQ as little as possible as otherwise things start to sound phasey and weird

The master chain should be left alone during the whole mixing process. The only thing I keep on my master is a utility with the width set to 0 so I can mix in mono. If the mix sounds good in mono, it'll sound better in stereo.

I've read somewhere about people who leave a master chain on all their templates and kind of carve the mix to accommodate their master chain, but I feel like that doesn't treat tracks as individuals.
