<li><strong>The 'Busses' Folder Track:</strong> My whole mix goes through this folder track. The MainComp track within that folder is where I apply any overall mix-buss processing.<br><br></li>||<li><strong>My Track Colouring Conventions:</strong> As anyone who's seen the Mix Rescue screenshots in the magazine will know, I normally colour tracks by instrument: yellow for drums/precussion; red for bass; orange and blue for guitars, keyboards, and other track fillers; and pink for lead and backing vocals. In addition, I tend to colour effects returns purple and any added audio I've put in (eg. overdubs, samples, or synths) green.<br><br></li>||<li><strong>My Plug-in Naming Conventions:</strong> If I've added an 'RR_' prefix to the plug-in name, that just means I've rendered it to audio, usually to preserve CPU cycles. If I've added an 'AA_' or 'PM_' prefix, that's just to remind me that I've automated or parameter-modulated some of its parameters. Number prefixes/suffixes are to remind me of any non-standard plug-in routings I've set up. So, for example, if I've renamed a ReaEQ plug-in '1+2_ReaEQ_3+4', that means that its input is coming from track channels 1+2 and its output is feeding track channels 3+4.<br><br></li>
