In this latest post by Cableguys, the subject of glueing mixes and sub-mixes together is covered. So what does glueing in relation to production refer to? It’s the process of taking multiple sound sources and making them all sound cohesive and as one. In traditional vintage recordings using tape and studio equipment, instruments tended to glue themselves together naturally. In digital and MIDI recording you have to work a little harder to achieve a similar glued-together effect. But Cableguys are here to the rescue with all the processing steps needed to help make your elements gel as one.

Here are the main points covered:

• Glue Compression: Uses gentle slow attack compression
• Parallel Compression: Uses a dry and wet signal with the wet signal being heavily squashed.
• Reverb: Send your group to a short reverb to unify the elements without producing an obvious reverb effect
• Saturation: Uses subtle harmonic distortion to crunch your sounds together.
