Wow. I've been a professional musician for longer than u have been alive but this is a great free lesson which should really help me organise LOGIC projects! thanks for teaching an old dog new tricks! THANKS T.H. !
Ha I'm not as young as I look 😉 But thank you for the kind comment, I really appreciate it. Best of luck with your journey using Logic Pro! Happy Holidays
Hey man, hope your break has been good. Looking forward to your content again and wna say thanks for all the technical guidance I’ve got from your channel
That was super helpful thank you. If you were to do a revision on this may I suggest you start with the manual bus scenario first? My use case is simple: "I have two tracks and I want to share the same reverb settings". The solution seems to be to create a new track in the mixer (Ctrl-N), ("Aux 20"), ensure it routes to Stereo Out, then change the two tracks to use Aux 20 instead of Stereo Out. The other section of buses still confuse me TBH.
Tony. Thanks so much brother! Very insightful tutorial. Literally nailed every question I had in my mind haha. Gratitude from Australia and happy 2022!
Hey Cal, thanks for the kind words. Good to be back 👍 Yes. I do want to start making full beat making videos, just trying to find the best way to go about it as I usually take awhile to make a beat. But there will be some in the future, thanks for watching!
How would you then bounce tracks with effects if they're routed through a buss with the effects on, or in a track stack with a buss? I'm thinking if someone else was looking to mix the track and you want certain effects printed on the stems to send to mix engineer.
Great question. And yes you answered it yourself, you have to export the bounced track of the stack. If you just do File > Export > Tracks, this won't include the FX busses, which a lot of the time is how people craft the sound they want.
I'm trying to take single track analogue recordings from the 90's, feed them into Logic Pro X and improve the sound quality. Do you know what that process is called? I can't find anything about this subject online. The only thing the internet talks about is how to make new digital recordings sound more Analogue. I'm trying to do the exact opposite. Any advice? Do you have any tutorials on that subject? Anything? Thanks
Hey Patrick, I don't have any videos on this topic specifically. However what you're referring to could be put under the term of 'post processing', basically adding processing and FX to audio recorded externally. Best of luck!
@@itstonyholiday Thanks. I'm surprised there isn't more about. this subject online. The world is full of aging musicians with old analogue recordings. There doesn't even seem to be a name for it.
Thank you for making a very clear to understand, visually aiding video :) The only thing that still confuses me is the 'sends' and the resulting duplicates. So if you have a track stack, which sends to say bus 2 and bus 4, each bus with a separate effect, do you end up with 1 track of the track stacks, one with the effects of bus 2, and one with the effects of bus 4? How does this impact the sound if the same thing is played 3 times at the same time with minor differences in effects? What is the benefit of the tracks being sent to separate multiple buses with effects rather than the effects just being added on the track stack, besides controlling the amount of effect? Sorry I hope that makes sense!
Thank you for the kind words, really glad you found the content useful. Yes, you will get a duplicate of the track including it's volume, so having 3 or 4 stacked on top of each other could be a lot of audio signal coming from that specific sound. Typically you wouldn't have all of them sending to the bus at 0db, and also at full volume, you want to use the effects tastefully and therefore would have them as lesser volumes. The benefit of doing this is having more control over each individual effect. If you have a delay after a reverb on the actual track (not bussing it out), then your delay is affecting the already reverbed track. If you have a reverb bus and a delay bus going out from the track, you can set the parameters based on the dry signal from the track, and blend in the wet signal of the bus. This on top of many other benefits like using less plugins to ease CPU load, keeping your tracks more organized, EQing out or boosting certain parts of the bussed effect are some of the many reasons to use busses.
Anyone? Help please! Let's say I wanted to send a panned effect (or any effect) using a bus which is already inside a track stack? What happens to the send effect (which is being bussed) of the individual track inside of the track stack? Does that that individual track get processed with the effects already inside the track stack or does it go directly to the send effect bus raw/with the individuals tracks plug-ins? I hope you understood this haha.
@@itstonyholiday Let’s say I have three vocals inside a track stack. I then put a vocal chain on the track stack. Now let’s say I would like to pan one vocal right and the other left then apply a separate reverb/delay in the opposite direction of the panned vocals. Is there a way to send the panned vocals to the reverb/delay whilst still getting the effect from the vocal chain? Or will the the signal just go raw into the reverb/delay? I hope this is clearer.
@@itstonyholiday So the effects from the vocal chain (of the track stack) would technically not be sent to the bus since all the vocal chain effects are on the track stack and are not on the individual track.
This is very interesting, but very difficult. It’s somehow „double-Dutch“ to me. I‘d need someone to show and explain this to me on my computer in a project. Or watching this several times and at the same time practicing it on the computer. But nevertheless „Thank you“.
@@itstonyholiday Thank you very much. I‘d like to be the expert you are, but I‘m miles away … My problem is that I can’t learn everything from TH-cam videos. Especially in this case, in EQing, Compressing, it would be necessary that someone could show me these things live. But there is no one far around who could show me DAWs, in my case in Logic!
@@vewilliI think you're getting ahead of yourself here and tackling a too many topics at one time. The best way to get better is to clearly define what your goals are and then work towards that. In the case of busses, if you haven't dove into EQ or compression I would say don't worry busses. While busses isn't advanced, it's not necessary for you to be learning until you've understood compression and EQ, and why you need busses. I'm not sure what your skills are, but if you're feeling overwhelmed with music production, I made this free course detailing how to go from knowing absolutely nothing to making your first song. It touches on basic concepts and how they apply to making songs, ultimately it's designed to show you the bare minimum, and then get you asking the right questions... which then turns into watching the right videos at the right time. Here's the course: th-cam.com/video/HMP46jHTrI0/w-d-xo.html
My question is: when I use bus on one track like reverb or delay or something…it affects all my tracks even those which I DONT want. Can I turn off the bus in another track or just bus works in every track? I mean one vocal track where I want reverb I put bus because I want to controle how much the effect sounds but on a another one vocal track I want no reverb but the bus is still there. How do I turn the effect in bus off of this track😂 u got me?😂 man I am soooo confused😅
@@itstonyholiday I am very sorry and I appologise but I am still cunfused maybe even more😀 please write me any possible way how to do it step by step. I am so sorry I am beginer I dont really mean to annoying you but I would apricciate it very much. Thanks for respond.
Wait…so the bus in mono input with reverb is ON and so is the reverb in stereo output on. But when I switch on the another track and I put BUS ,,volume,, to zero it wont sound in the track? Even when in stereo output reverb still shine blue? Because when I try the blue reverb switch and turn off it affects all the bus reverb on another track where I still want it…man I should play my playstation instead to mess around with music producing😀😀😀😀
Why is it that when recording vocals or anything logic overrides or even records over my already good recording so I lose perfectly good takes? This is after I start a pass at another part of the song. Logic arbitrarily creates other takes of a track I just made? And won’t let me delete it without deleting my good take? This is a big time waster please help. Also I place it on latency for recording and it unchecks itself there’s a demon in the program……

I rarely use outputs on a source track, I only use busses
Still not sure…do I need a token to get on the bus? LOL. Nice video!
No tokens required! Thanks for watching.

Q: What’s the best controller for live loops in Logic that anyone can recommend.
Novation sent me a Launchpad X which they mapped to live loops natively. It’s pretty good, but I don’t use Live Loops that much.

When I create a track stack it doesn't appear to be a Bus but a Sum. How do I turn it into a Bus?
