The Importance of Busses in Mixing Template

This free Reason Mixing Template relies on busses to make the most out of your mixes. Not only does bussing speed up your workflow, it also allows you to save on processing power and add more glue to the mix. This mixing template includes busses for every major instrument group, as well as for the effects.

The busses are color coded so that you can easily distinguish between them. I'd recommend color coding your imported tracks to match the color of the buss that you route them to.
