[QUOTE="Ned Ward, post: 15876, member: 100"] Re: Double bussing - why the buss? I'm guessing it comes from a time when you wanted to vary the ''wet mix'' of a usually inline effect, like compression. All of the analog compressors were strictly input output; either you wanted it to sound compressed in the mix or not. By bussing vocals or any input to a compressor and another channel, you had parallel compression, or the ability to vary the wet/dry mix of the compressor. These days, it's usually easier to twist a knob to vary the amount of compression per track on digital desks, but I'm sure there are other reasons, such as compression on FOH channel and none on the monitor channel, so the singer can hear his/her own dynamics and adjust appropriately.
