What
is
the
proper
amount
of
level
to
send
through
the
channel
and
mixbuss?
There
is
no
right
answer.
Any
signal
that
travels
through
the
plugins
will
gain
the
nonlinear
response
of
the
particular
channel.
On
some
desks,
you
can
experiment
by
sending
all
your
channels
to
a
few
stereo
busses,
and
then
using
those
busses
to
send
to
the
mixbuss.
This
way,
you
can
hear
the
effect
of
driving
more
level
into
the
virtual
mixbuss.
You
may
or
may
not
like
the
sound
of
the
modeled
mix
amps
as
they
reach
their
threshold
and
start
to
saturate...
Use
your
ears
to
judge.
Can
I
put
the
channel
plugin
on
the
last
insert
to
simulate
going
through
outboard
gear
before
the
console?
There
is
no
rule
that
says
you
must
put
the
channel
plugin
on
the
first
insert.
The
last
insert
will
work
fine.
We
do
recommend
putting
the
mixbuss
plugin
as
the
first
insert
on
the
master
fader
for
most
authentic
replication
of
the
hardware.
