Survey Favorite Plug-ins on Master Fader and Aux

[fredsparky]

Hi. I was wondering what plug-ins you all are using on your master fader (MF)(now that's an acronym!) and aux channels- and what order they are in. Is it better to add reverb and delay fx via sending to aux? Is it better to use compressors and limiters on the master? So if you don't mind, will you list some of your favorite plugs in your aux and master fader signal chain?

Example for response:

"Aux- (stereo or mono) abc compression, reverb, then delay:
MF- (stereo) L2, abc reverb, then xyz plug."

Thanks much and have a great and SAFE Christmas and Chanukah Holiday!

Hi Fred: I always use the Aux Tracks for FX like Reverbs or delays, in the master fader I didn't put anything that an analyzer, like Waves PAZ, because I do compression on every channel who need it, and eq. in the same way. Whe I do mastering, I put comp, eq. stereo expansion and dithering in the MF, and obviusly the analizer.
My best plugins are:

1 Waves (really a Swiss blade)
2 Bomb Factory (cool, warm sound)
3 Antares
4 DUY
5 everything else in no particular order
Take care

Aux: Verbs, delays, sometimes a sans amp

Master: only a L1 set to medium so I get a feel for how it's going to sound after mastering. I'll toggle that often to hear with no limiting. I do all my mastering outside of PTLe with T-Racks! So I bounce with the L1 inactive. If you bounce to CD then use maxim or a dithering plug on the master.

OK Cool! Thanks much!

Be awarre, themaster fader insert is POST FADER, and any change in the master fader position will change the level into the plugin.
