Bouncing a drum bus into a new track is wonderful!

Just wanna say. You get that awesome tape distorted drum sound like on early Led Zep albums... and also save on CPU power by cutting down on the amount of tracks, providing more headroom for your limiter by tape softclipping the transients, and that without additional plugins.

XT-TS would be awesome!

On the latest mix I did, I actually used Voxengo's CRTIV Tape Bus, in addition to the Mixbus tape saturation. And I was NOT conservative in using that either. Sounds wonderful and allowed for so much more headroom left for the mastering process (plenty loud at -17 LUFS and peaking at -5 dBFS or so).

I love how transparent Harrison's tape saturation is until you hit the red.
