Well you have an easier to manage signal chain and the phase is ok as long as you use the same eq to filter the bands.

But by all means, do whatever works for you 🙂

If I’m working on complex chains, I just bounce and move on. I find it’s pointless to start tweaking in big chains, because there’s not telling what the output is. It keeps me sane.

I have a template arrangement to make big reeces: a sub mid and hi channel where I throw in some samples. When I’m happy with the processing I bounce the result and use that in a tune or as a sample to use in a different reece.
In a tune I’ll have lots of wav edits of those samples, and very limited processing on the channel (some eq and some buscompression, maybe some send to a reverb).

This split between the arrangement and sound design stage is what makes sense for me, it might be different for you.

The reason I’m saying all this is because I can see why your way of working could get awkward. So maybe it’s nice to work differently for a time. There is no “best” way to do this, anything that makes your sound is good.
