Cubase 15: Master bus processing and limiting

Demo summary

Austin shows his master bus chain, including Tube Compressor, Frequency EQ, Maximizer, and Brickwall Limiter to finalize the project export.

Apply a Tube Compressor to the master bus to tuck the mix in
Use Frequency EQ to add top-end and mid information
Add a Maximizer for additional compression and limiting
Set a standard Limiter for the primary gain reduction
Place a Brickwall Limiter at the end of the chain to prevent peaking during export
Enable inter-sample clipping detection on the final limiter

Always top the chain with a brick wall limiter to ensure nothing peaks during the export process
