Route SFX Stingers to a Dedicated Fairlight Bus
Assign all whooshes, keyboard clacks, and 808 drops to Bus 2 with a soft limiter ceiling at -3.0 dBFS.
Layer Tactile Foley Under Screen Recordings
Sync mouse-click-double.mp3 and keyboard-clack-asmr.mp3 under cursor zooms and terminal typing callouts.
Sidechain Duck Music Bed Against Cinema Braaam Hits
Send your SFX Bus key output to the Music Bus compressor so sub-drop-808-cinema.mp3 punches cleanly through the mix.
