    I thought this was a common mixing technique everyone used?? Group busses with dedicated processing on each...maybe not... Saw a great video where Dave Ratt uses this for all his live sound mixes. I did this exact thing in setting my live mixes. It helps keep everything controlled and in its own place.

    that's what i do and i make the whole thing shine in mastering instead of killing the dynamics with a compressor and relying on multiband compressors to fix the mixing problems

    I love this. Kinda of new to DAW but even on outboard jam tracks on 24s I'd group by low bass mid and high. Not quite like this. But each got a d easer and a limiter and dynamic EQ.

    I didn't even realize I was doing this in FL STUDIO. But I be doing this just to be even more organized. I just want to twist some knobs for each song that just effect the whole mix, a few knobs to control the tower you know?

    Another way to create differences in the music is to put an EQ on any bus and put 1 db on any frequency for the L and take that 1 db for the R.

    Awe this is great.. Do you guys have a course or video explaining how to set up and route a sub mix like this starting from the beginning and explaining the different routes? Why it’s routed a particular way etc.... I hope to hear back from you guys appreciate your time and you guys are awesome thank you!!!

    great tutorial, can you tell me whats the difference between usin aux busses and track stacks in logic? cos track stacks are easier to use..regards

    • @damimr.damentionadeoye2064
      @damimr.damentionadeoye2064 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Summing Track Stacks and Aux Busses are the same thing. When you create a summing stack it creates a track in your main window. When you create an Aux Bus it just remains in your mixer alone. But from a routing point of view, they're the same thing

    • @lukeddemers
      @lukeddemers 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I was waiting for someone else to ask this, bc I like this tutorial but I find the Track Stacks to be way more efficient. The method he shows here is how I did this in Pro Tools in college, but when Logic added track stacks I saw this way as obsolete bc track stacks also help w project organization and make it much simpler to understand.

  • @YuccaEvergreen
    @YuccaEvergreen 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Any specific reason why there is Ozone imager before EQ? Compression before EQ i understand, but i personally would always try to EQ the "raw" signal first... then the rest! Maybe this is again the never ending discussion "which comes first...?"

    • @brianpylant4617
      @brianpylant4617 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The editing on this video is a bit disjointed; he's probably moving them off-screen in the Tracks window (which in turn moves them in the Mixer). There is **still** no way to move channels directly in the Mixer. Keep submitting that feature request to Apple! www.apple.com/feedback/logic-pro.html

    • @donnycraig6276
      @donnycraig6276 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@brianpylant4617 Thanks - I really want that feature as well. Not having my mixer arranged the same as the arrangement window is clunky. So fess up, Jake! How'd ya do it? Great vid tho...

    • @anneedsall4627
      @anneedsall4627 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Option click the track in the mixer ( or control click, cannot remember) and hit create track, that puts that mixer track in your arrange window, then move it to wherever in the arrange window and it will correlate to the mixer
