Thank you! I hit subscribe. This has been the main reason I've avoided buses for years. I could never figure out how to send instruments to the same bus without losing the ability to keep the tracks panned. You should see how many effects I've been using on each individual instrument 😭
Thanks for this since this helped a lot because I was trying to print the master and stems inside the project and the volume on those came way loud due to the send knobs turned all the way, I have been trying to understand why but your explanation above finally made it clear. Let's say the volume fader of a track is at unity gain= 0db and you want to send that to an aux from where you will print it to an audio track (by making the input of the audio track as the aux number) then the send knob in general in Logic is confusing since when turning the knob all over (sending the whole signal to aux) actually sends more than the 0db your fader is at (it sends the max limit=+6db). The above explanation of send on faders function at 7:47 clearly shows this and clarified why my stems and master prints were way louder and clipping. Thanks:)
Great video thanks. Helped me sort out a problem where I am using a gate on one audio track triggered by another audio track via a bus, but I wanted the original audio to be silent but still acting as the trigger.
Panning the send would be good if you wanted to put the effect on one side and the dry part on the other like Eddie Van Halen's guitar on the first album
I can actually hear, from 4:26 to 4:33, that the signal traveling from left to right as you moved the pan knob under the demonstration of Post Fader send.
Why if there is reverb bus for Multiple send when i click solo button for one track im still hearing the other tracks wet signal ? And the Other tracks only the later (S)olo change to yellow
Is there a way to cross fade a channel with an AUX track? I want to have a LoFi AUX effects set that fades out to the original channel. One goes high the other goes low kinda deal.
When would you introduce delay or reverb or using one main vocal buss but you want different levels of reverb or delays but want to use the same main vocal buss can you put the send on the individual track and it routes to the vocal buss after the send is on the individual track?
I know this video is old but can someone explain somethings to me 1. I like to use delay, reverb, fresh air/limiter, on buses should I do what this guy did for all of them and make their own tracks routed to a new send after making the track, or just make new tracks for them each, 2. Do they have to be prepared fader if I do
Question! When using (Pre Fader) mode when sending out to an AUX track, does that then bypass whatever plugins you might have on the track you're sending from? Meaning, you'll sending the raw signal to the AUX track?
Great as usual. Is there a general rule for when to use a send vs. adding an effect to the instrument channel itself? I've been using send only when I want to use the same effect for multiple instruments to ease processing a little bit but should you always use sends for certain plug-in types and not others? Even Logic's own software instruments seem to do this inconsistently. Thanks.
I always do it, except when I'm adding reverb or other TBE directly to a synthesizer, where the TBE is part of the sound design of the instrument -- and occasionally a guitar solo/lead. Otherwise I always use sends for TBE's.
Do you think you could do a tutorial on aux tracks,busses,and sends? Thats something i still kinda struggle with understanding. (If you already did do one could you link it or do an updated one if necessary?)
Think of the "bus" as a digital pathway for audio to travel. In mixing consoles and other analog gear, the bus is a physical wire that attaches the channel send to another track. So the signal is being sent to an aux track, but the bus is carrying the signal.
How does this work with mono vs stereo. For example, I have a single channel stereo guitar track that is panned left. Would it be better to use the post fader setting?
Can you do a video of getting a guitar wet/dry/wet sound in Logic Pro please? Lots of vids on that using 3 amps and tons of pedals but can’t find one getting that sound inside the daw
Really good video! I would use Stereo Pan though instead of Balance Pan when using stereo channels. The default is balance (you have 2 signals in stereo, and if you hard pan to the left side you will lose the right signal entirely). You can right click on the pan knob and select "Stereo Pan" instead. See and listen to what will happen now when you pan!
Hi! Thanks a lot for the great content! I wonder how I could bypass the fader but affect the pan. Somentimes when my aux channels have compressor, I would prefer thar they wouldn't be affected by the fader changes that I do on the main channel, but I would like to keep the panning information from the main channel still affecting the aux track. Can you help me with that? Thank you so much!
Maybe someone can help... Why did my plug in and send on from a single track become highlighted red and disabled? How do I fix/avoid this? I can’t find the answer anywhere.
How did you get to the popup where you can change signal flow/pre/post fader? I right clicked everywhere on the channel strip and I don't get this popup.
Got a question sir. If i choose ‘post fader sends’ or ‘post pan sends’ and i solo out the wet signal, it makes no sound. It only works when i choose ‘pre fader sends’ to hear the sound of dry and wet signal separately. Why is this happening?
Is this the process to add a guitar panned to one side, to pan the reverb of that guitar to the other side for a fuller sound? Sounds like it could be used for that.
Thanks for the tutorial. What I don't understand how to do is how can I export all my tracks (make a trackout) with all the processing happening on the sends? Because when you make an all audio tracks export what you get is a dry signal. Whick is totally frustrating(( Please, help!
@MusicTechHelpGuy would you mind doing a video on the different pan modes that were added into Logic Pro X 10.4.2 and up. I noticed there are a few options when you right click on the pan knob. I’m not certain but I believe Logic has the pan knob default set to balance control instead of a directional pan.
Hi. Is there a way, how to make more send or FX slots visible even if they are not occupied? I switched from pro tools where it is default this way, that you can see more slots. Thanks for reply.
Nice video :) For some reasons I get a delay on my vocals when I route them to an AUX track. How can I fix that issue? I tried to use the low latency mode but it doesn't help at all.
It might be the plug-in you're trying to use on the aux track. Is the delay there when you bypass the plug-in? If not, it's definitely the plug-in causing it. If so, bump your buffer size in your preferences all the way up.
This is awesome. I'm an old analog soundman getting caught up to the intricacies digital mixing in the 21st century as the new soundman for my church. This is HUUUUUUGGGGGE HELP!! Thank you!
Where the hell have I been?? This changed my sound COMPLETELY! Dude, you just opened Pandora's box! Thanks for this!
Yeah! Finally someone who explain this in a simple, effective way! Thank you!
Nice little update.. Its good brushing up on things that are sometimes easy to forget.. Good job!
Brilliant as always- complex options
Thank you so much! It helps a lot! Only suggestion is maybe you can give more real life example of different type of sends. Thanks again.
Dude, you're amazing. Thank you so much for all that you do to help us become successful.
Thanks so much for the great video. Every time I think I am a Logic Expert I learn something new from you!
I can't thank you enough!! BEST Logic Pro X Tutorials in the world.

Top track Man! Keep on rocking! 😎👍
Thanks for this video. It was very useful to me. I'm learning about sends and busses.
This is the best series of logic videos on the internet. I hope everyone has helped him out on patreon or purchased his courses. They are great.
Best video on the topic by far!
Great video as always
Joe
Pretty cool stuff, man! Thumbs up! Thanks for this, it really helps! 😍😎
Awesome video, helped me a lot. Thank you for your hard work!

Yes that's what I hoped you would cover specifically. Dry guitar one way and reverb the other. It must be a common need. How exactly do you do that?
Excellent
Well explained.
Excellent thanks!
That's so helpful....Thanks a ton. :)
Aweome video, totally unknown for me.
I can actually hear, from 4:26 to 4:33, that the signal traveling from left to right as you moved the pan knob under the demonstration of Post Fader send.
Why if there is reverb bus for Multiple send when i click solo button for one track im still hearing the other tracks wet signal ? And the Other tracks only the later (S)olo change to yellow
Thanks for this update, good information
Thank you, this is extremely helful!
Man awosome thank you so much
So, no way to put a send BEFORE the plugins? Thanks.
Is there a way to cross fade a channel with an AUX track? I want to have a LoFi AUX effects set that fades out to the original channel. One goes high the other goes low kinda deal.
Great tutorial, thanks.

Can’t you just Pan your Aux verb to where you want it?
Question! When using (Pre Fader) mode when sending out to an AUX track, does that then bypass whatever plugins you might have on the track you're sending from? Meaning, you'll sending the raw signal to the AUX track?
Is bus sends also before fader like audio fx or after fader and pan
By the way: I like watching much more than reading!
Hi,
Is that effects send in logic pro x?
I will try

About Different Types of panning in logic pro x....?
Do you think you could do a tutorial on aux tracks,busses,and sends? Thats something i still kinda struggle with understanding. (If you already did do one could you link it or do an updated one if necessary?)
I have like 3 or 4 of them already. Just search up 'musictechhelpguy busses'
why does the send get routed out to a buss and not just an aux track?
Think of the "bus" as a digital pathway for audio to travel. In mixing consoles and other analog gear, the bus is a physical wire that attaches the channel send to another track. So the signal is being sent to an aux track, but the bus is carrying the signal.
How does this work with mono vs stereo. For example, I have a single channel stereo guitar track that is panned left. Would it be better to use the post fader setting?
Hi，teacher. Is pan behind the fader in other daw?

감사합니다! 궁금했었는데 해결이 되었어요!
Excelent video, changed the way I mix from now on
whats the best way to print the effect?
Please make a video on sidechaining
this is exactly what i needed i have no idea what the difference was between the blue color dial and the green color dial
Love the track at the end!!!
Thanks brother
I have say your vids are so cool iry
8:21 are you using auto-tune?
terrific video. totally missed the sends on fears option! thanks!

Dude, you are a life saver. Very appreciating work.
👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Great video for my status as a beginner.
Song in the end is fire!🔥🔥🔥
The full version of the song is on my channel. I added it yesterday. Check it out!
Thanks for another very useful video. This will help me get even more finessed with my mixes.
Autotune signal coming in at 8:20
really well explained. Thank you!
Nice video :)
