So I have been trying to find the right blend of effects to generally incorporate into my mixes using TP2 and my S2 when mixing hip-hop. The problem becomes just how "accurate" you have to be when incorporating them into the mix than say mixing a DnB/Dub/House/Dance type mix which I think is a bit more forgiving when mixing.
Beatmasher 2 - Probably my most used effect. Problem becomes if you are a 1/10th of a second off it can ruin the mix in a heartbeat
Gater - Use this ever now and again. I am not sure if I am satisfied with what it does since it creates what I like to call "the void", where the volume is just too cut-off even in moderate settings.
Filter:92 - Since I have the S2, this comes in even more handy since filter knobs are not directly present.
Iceverb - A subtle effect that I will incorporate 16-32 bars worth of gradual swiping of the knob.
Other than these I have not found much that "really works" with hip-hop. I am configured with 6 individual effects but should I be using at least 1 bank of "stacked" single effects? Are there other effects I should be looking at?
