Maybe if you need to use 4 compressors on your snare top to get it to sound right, you aren’t using the correct compressor for the drum, or maybe what you are hearing is something that actually would just need a bit more eq or be solved in some other fashion. Not only does it simplify the processing, it will make you a much better mixer over time because you’ll get a finer understanding of each and every mixing move that you make (and equally importantly, why that was or wasn’t the right move). We’ve all been there, right? I have learned to try to get away with as little as possible in terms of plugins.
And before you know it, you’ve got 4 compressors, 2 EQs and a saturator on there and you realize that you have no clue what’s even going on. We’re fortunate to have a huge array of plugins at our disposal these days, and when faced with a tricky mixing challenge it can be tempting to just throw a bunch of plugins on a channel and hope that fixes it.
