The key to this technique lies in using a different compressor or compression settings on the rear bus compared to the compressors used on individual tracks. By employing a more aggressive compression on the rear bus, Scheps can achieve a tighter and more cohesive sound for the entire mix, as it brings out subtle details and enhances the overall impact.
The compressed rear bus is then blended back into the original mix using the mix knob or fader on the rear bus channel. This allows him to control the amount of compressed signal that gets mixed in with the dry mix. The result is a mix with enhanced punch, depth, and energy, without sacrificing the natural dynamics of the individual tracks.
