That might seem like a weird question, but it matters: Post Pan
When you dig into the Send menu, you may notice another set of foreign looking phrases:Īll these phrases are asking you one thing – when do you want your audio sent to your Aux? If things weren’t hazy enough, there’s another set of words to wrap your brain around. The audio plumbing world is yours to decide 😉 Post Pan, Post Fader, or Pre Fader? Bump it up or down to fine-tune the volume.īut you can also send it full-blast to your Aux, and just turn the Aux volume up or down. You probably don’t want your track drenched in reverb. Thankfully, you can choose how much audio is sent to your Aux with the circular volume knob: But just like your kitchen faucet, you need some way to control how much audio comes out. Throw your favorite reverb on that Aux, and you can send as many tracks as you want to it.īut then you need to decide how much audio you want to send to that Aux. What’s awesome is once you pick your bus, Logic automatically creates an Aux for you: The next step is to pick which Bus or pipe you want to send your audio through.Īs of Logic 10.3, you have 256 to choose from. When you click on one of those empty fields, a menu will pop up for creating a send: The next step is putting the pieces together. Now you know what the heck these words mean. So if you put it all together the flow looks like this:Īudio Track -> Send -> Bus -> Aux Controlling the Flow of Sound The Aux is like the faucet your water spits out of in your kitchen. The difference though is audio doesn’t live on your Aux, like it does on other tracks. Your audio hops onto the on-ramp, and slides its way down your bus to it’s intended destination…Īuxes are just like any other channel in your project. If you take a look at the Mixer Strips in Logic, there are a couple of empty fields with some empty looking circles.Ī send is like the on-ramp for the highway. You can combine tracks, send them to effects, or send them just about anywhere you need them. How do you get it to that reverb?īusses allow you to create pipes between tracks. That audio only goes in one direction – to the Stereo Output.īut say you want your audio to go somewhere else, like a reverb. When you hit play in Logic, its like you turned on the faucet. Modern plumbing uses pipes to get water into your home. Most likely you have running water in your kitchen and bathroom.īut that water doesn’t just appear. Let’s define each word so you can get past thinking about them: What is a Bus?īefore we go any further, what the heck is a bus?! When you have 3 words that kinda mean the same thing, but aren’t the same – it gets confusing. If bussing intimidates you, I bet it’s because of the words we use.
Step one when it comes to bussing in Logic is to first figure out what the heck all the weird words actually mean!
#Logix pro x user guide upgrade
Let’s upgrade your workflow with bussing. Sending audio wherever you need it to goĪnd by not bussing in Logic, you’re screaming to the world:ĭon’t get caught being a basic Logic user.All I could do was think about how much CPU he was wasting by not using busses. And the first thing I noticed was that he had Space Designer on every single track.Īs he spoke, I couldn’t even focus on what he was saying. He whipped his Macbook around to show me what he was working on. He was working on a project and wanted to geek out about Logic.
Bussing in Logic Pro X is a super power that often gets overlooked by Logic users.įor example, the other day I was talking to a friend.
