Toontrack has announced the release of a new expansion for its EZmix 2 mixing plugin. Created by Thomas “Plec” Johansson, Metal Mix Buses features 50 custom mix-ready signal chain presets designed to optimize and maximize the impact of each instrument group in your production – before they all hit the final mix bus.

Galloping drums, walls of guitars, multi-channel basses, layers of vocals and often oceans worth of orchestral or ambient keys – a modern metal track can feature a daunting amount of channels. When facing one of these massive productions, the only viable way of getting an overview is by grouping and busing. This EZmix pack was designed to facilitate just that.

Featuring a total of 50 meticulously crafted custom signal chain presets for drums, bass, guitars, keys and vocals, this collection of mix-ready settings for EZmix 2 was designed to optimize and maximize the impact of each instrument group in your production before they all hit the final mix bus. But that’s not all, each setting serves a concrete purpose – and there are 50 of them. This means that you’ll have all the options you need to tailor your mix to perfectly meet your personal criteria. Whether you’re looking for a setting that makes your orchestral keys arrangement stand out, one that removes fizz and enhances your guitars, one that makes your drums punch through or one that optimizes the dynamics of your bass channels – with this pack they’re all just a mouse click away.

Metal Mix Buses EZmix Pack is available to purchase for 39 USD/EUR at the Toontrack store and from Best Service.
