Sante Fe - LT Mix

[Drummer Craig]

There's a lot of info and videos about Scheps' "Rear Bus" parallel compression. In a nutshell, the old Neve 8068 console had an optional stereo bus fitted for mixing in Quad (early surround sound). On the desk it's labeled "Rear" because it's the bus for the rear tracks/speakers. In a stereo mix that bus can then be utilized as a parallel mix bus. Scheps will send tracks to that bus and compress it. Usually with a pair of 1176s with all the buttons engaged and blends that in with the regular mix bus.

Hope that helps/makes sense/inspires...

Great info. Thank you Roy.
