Bussification by PerforModule
The Complete Mixing Ecosystem
Bussification delivers a comprehensive channel strip system for every stage of your mix—from individual instrument groups to drum busses, auxiliary sends, and final master processing. This pack includes 16 specialized mixing racks, each meticulously designed with custom parameter ranges and signal flows optimized for their specific role in your production.
Unlike generic channel strips that take a one-size-fits-all approach, each Bussification rack features bespoke frequency ranges and processing chains tailored to its target source material. The result? Instrument groups that glue together naturally, aux sends that add dimension without muddiness, and master bus processors that bring vintage character without compromise.
Instrument GroupBusses (9 Racks)
These channel strips are designed to be placed on group tracks containing similar instruments, helping them cohere as a unified element in your mix. While the macro controls remain consistent across all nine racks, each features custom-tailored frequency focus ranges and signal routing.
GroupBuss Bass: Optimized for bass guitars, synths, and low-frequency sound effects. Lo cut range: 12-45 Hz | Tone feature: 55-777 Hz | Hi cut: 8k-15k Hz.
GroupBuss Bowed: Designed for bowed string instruments with ranges that enhance natural resonance and presence.
GroupBuss Horn: Tailored for brass instruments with emphasis on characteristic mid-range projection. Tone feature: 600 Hz-12k Hz.
GroupBuss Keys: Full-range processing for pianos, keyboards, and synthesizers. Lo cut: 20-100 Hz | Tone feature: 234 Hz-15k Hz.
GroupBuss Larynxical: Specifically calibrated for vocal processing with frequency ranges that enhance intelligibility and presence. Tone feature: 500 Hz-3k Hz (sat dB).
GroupBuss MeLeady: For melodic and lead lines that need to cut through dense mixes. Tone feature: 400-8k Hz.
GroupBuss Plucked: Optimized for plucked acoustic instruments like guitar, harp, and pizzicato strings. Tone feature: 1.1k-7.7k Hz.
GroupBuss Strummed: Designed for strummed acoustic instruments with emphasis on body and percussive attack. Tone feature: 2.2k-8.8k Hz.
GroupBuss Wind: Tailored for woodwind instruments with ranges that enhance breath and tonal character. Tone feature: 700 Hz-11.1k Hz.
Each Instrument GroupBuss includes: Juice (focused EQ boost + compression), Tone Tilt, Tone Feature selection, Tauten (constricts filters), Parallel Saturate (bandpass saturation), Low/High boost, and Level Me (sophisticated automatable output control).
Drum GroupBusses (2 Racks)
GroupBuss Kit Core: Designed for full drum kit routing with wide frequency response (26-40 Hz lo cut, 15k-20k hi cut). Provides cohesive glue for kick, snare, hats, and toms routed together.
GroupBuss Kit Perc: Optimized for supplementary percussion layers with emphasis on mid-high frequencies (80-920 Hz lo cut, 16k-18k hi cut). Perfect for shakers, tambourines, hand percussion, and auxiliary rhythmic elements.
Both drum busses feature the same macro structure as Instrument GroupBusses but with percussion-specific parameter ranges and tone-focused compression characteristics.
AuxBusses (2 Racks)
Designed to be placed on return tracks, these parallel processing racks can transform your mix when multiple sources are sent to them at varying levels.
AuxBuss Dirt: Adds dirt, crisp, and grit for increasing the perceptible acuteness of raw lucidity in your mix. Features tone-focused saturation and overdrive, plus a distortion-generating compressor for parallel character infusion. Controls include: Input Stage, Tone Feature, Tone Tilt, Tauten, Muscle (punchiness), Flavor Boost, Press (compression blend), and Width (M/S balance).
AuxBuss Space: Pulls up, enhances, and glues together the background spaciousness in your mix without loss of punch. Features a custom room reverb engine (“Roomerberator”) designed to draw out room tone while maintaining attack integrity. Controls include: Input Stage, Tone Feature, Tone Tilt, Movement (subtle modulation), Depth (low-end density), Flavor Boost, Roomerb (reverb amount), and Width.
MainBusses (3 Racks)
Three distinct master bus processors, each emulating a different classic playback format from music’s golden eras.
MainBuss Cassette Tape: Captures the nuances and character of cassette tape during its golden era, including fidelity simulation, unique generative hiss, and source-reactive sub and air distortion. Notably avoids overdone wow and flutter effects. The Fidelity macro ranges from very old cassette types through consumer-grade tapes to high-end late-era cassettes, each with appropriate EQ curves and hiss characteristics. Hiss is entirely generated and reacts organically to input signal, fading smoothly when audio ceases.
MainBuss CD: A pre-mastering channel strip evoking the “big production sound” of 1990s CD-era mixing. Includes DeMudPressor and DeHarshPressor for surgical frequency-focused compression, plus sub/lo-mid/upper exciters for harmonic enhancement. The Fundamental parameter can be set to your song’s root key for optimal results (13 macro variations provided for quick key selection). Features: Guts (sub vs second octave balance), Power (lo-mid thickness), Sheen (upper brightness), Tempo matching, De-Mud, De-Harsh, and Limit Push (flavor-oriented limiter).
MainBuss Vinyl Record: Emulates the complete experience of vinyl pressing and playback, including unique generated table rumble. Features pressing fidelity selection (Factory-Fresh, Nice, Typical, Bad, Worst), de-sibilant control to prevent high-frequency pressing errors, stylus quality simulation (affects tracing error and pinch distortion), groove grime simulation, and a scalable encoder-style pre/post filter useful for turntable imports or lathe preparation. Includes intelligent bass monoification and upper-end low-pass filtering options.
