That seems like a lot of work to me. I too don't add Jamin until I'm<br>
done with the mix, but it's so simple to add an insert to it in the<br>
master track. Doesn't matter to me whether it's pre- or post-fader<br>
since I leave the master channel at 0 dB - if it goes over, I've mixed<br>
poorly!<br>
<br>
I know that I can stress my poor old P4 if I have too many channels with<br>
fx and run Jamin, but when that happens I'll pay attention to my<br>
sub-mixes. No need to have 3-4 background vox channels each with their<br>
own fx when I can throw on a mix bus and put the fx there (except<br>
perhaps for some EQ).<br>
<br>
Even with the idea of mastering only a single stereo track, I'd just<br>
work off a snapshot in the same session where I've imported the track<br>
and mute or hide the rest of the tracks, but that's mostly because<br>
I'm a bit OCD about keeping my filesystems streamlined, and the<br>
multiple directories for a song would make me twitch :)</blockquote><div><br></div><div>:-) that works too and sometimes I use snapshots just like you, it's just a matter of taste and needs. </div><div>let's say you can use the same master project for an entire album or a bunch of songs which must "sound the same".</div>
<div>but... I would not go juggling with tracks faders/eqs/compressors with jamin on the master bus... not really.</div><div><br></div><div>regards</div><div>-r</div><div><br></div></div>
