it was a mystery to me ! old school despite knowing and working on logic since the Emagic days, I was doing it like a pirate and with your videos I'm finally starting to understand what is "good sound"... thank you chris
Wow Chris! I'll be honest, based on the title, I didn't think this would be a hugely important video for me but this is a game changer for sure. I've been getting into analog summing the past year and as a result my routing to my bus channels has gotten more complex. Regardless of color coding or nomenclature on my bus and aux channels it was always a break in my momentum just as you described when searching for an output bus channel. The shift+click alternative is quick and intuitive, thanks Chris! Theo
Another great set of tips, Chris! On physical consoles, I use Sends on Faders all of the time. I don't know why I never thought to look for it in Logic. This will certainly speed up mixing. Thanks!!
I had no idea one could shift click to change the secondary channel in the inspector (or see the associated bus in the mixer). Really helpful to know - thanks!
Having just completed a mixing project last week, and being reminded of the annoying menu that pops up when clicking on a send in the inspector, this “shift-click” feature is a game changer.
The LPX colorizer for the track channels is something to think about! Easy to navigate with track colors! Just cuz every track is grey.. it’s nice to change the theme!
This will really help me navigate to find the channel strips that seem to multiply exponentially during projects. Super useful. Why am I not surprised. I look forward to your next video.
Huge thanks Chris, I was wondering for ages how to do exactly what you described in this video. Really really helpful for big projects. Have a nice day!
Hey Chris, all your videos are extremely informative and tell a lot about all the little things which are extremely important but are not easily understood or known to even some of the users like me who have been using Logic Pro for a long time..Thanks so much for all the valuable knowledge
Always useful tips, but these rock! Send On Fader tip is going to be my new workflow addition. Who is sending to this Verb Aux again? Now I can see quickly and easily. Thank you, thank you.
Wow did not know about the slow down feature blew my mind. I came from studio one, Ableton, luna and recently been using logic and love it so when I find anything new I'm like a kid in the candy store. This is all very helpful and like I said the slow mo feature made me jump up lol. Great video Thanks.
Another handful tricks! Thanks! Assigning groups to show/hide channels is also helpful to me. I use a Slate Raven monitor so I don’t know how this would work easily without it (probably keyboard shortcuts), but it is so easy to select just what you want to see or hide this way. 😊
for the Aux send i don't need to hold down the shift key to not make the menu pop up.... i just click on the dial (how much is being sent to that Aux) and it brings up the contnets of the send with out the menu
Dude this is awesome. I had no idea. Building a template has been an absolute nightmare. Wish I knew this before. But this will help A LOT when doing mixdowns with it.
Great tips here thanks so much for another great video! However, I do hope a future Logic update brings us a little more flexibility with coloring our tracks and channel strips. You already see this in most of the other popular DAWs, the entire strip has a translucent color, not just a little strip at the bottom. Logic has been stuck on this solid grey from top to bottom and it's honestly getting a tad dull to look at. I think having all my drums a certain color, same with guitar, synths, and so forth, even if it's a subtle hue, would be very welcome. This being both for the mixer and the arrangement view.
WOW YOU ALWAYS COME BACK WITH GREAT CONTENT ...AND NOW YOU REALLY SAVE ME FROM ONE OF MY NUMBER ONE ISSUES THANK YOU BROTHER THAT'S WHY I DON'T REGRET BEING A SUBCRIBER FOR YOUR CHANNEL YOU ROCK ....BTW COULD YOU PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT NOVATION IN LOGIC THE LAUNCH KEY SERIE?
Thumbs up for the sends on faders tip! I still prefer the old way of just single or double clicking on sends or outputs for navigating though. The "three times high light thing" is not as good for identifying routings imo.
Great info. I would love to know if there's a way to get rid of buses that are no longer being used. Sometimes opening a midi instrument automatically creates busses that I don't use and forget about. Thanks!!
I think an even easier way to see what tracks are sending to a bus is to hit "solo" the bus - and then only the tracks that are sending to that bus will stay colored (not greyed out) in the track view. (the regions will stay colored).
Howdy Chris, kevco here in Santa Cruz California. In most other applications they have a star or a heart or some other symbol to like something from your library, is there such an option in logic that I'm missing. I'm a long time subscriber and I a giver of thumbs up..
Why not just use track stacks for each instrument( drums, bass, vocals etc) and normal busses for verbs and delays and other processing? I find that to be very efficient as the bus track on a track stack is immediately to the left of the tracks.
Great video! thank you. Curious if you always use your Stereo Output as your final "2 bus" (where you will put your overall EQ, Comps, etc.) For myself, I have a track called "Mixes" (comp folder of all of the mix versions) routed to the Stereo Output. My Stereo Output has only a Gain plug to check for flip phase. My "2 bus" is actually an Aux with my final EQ, Comp, Lim which everything else routes to before finally routing to the empty (mostly) Stereo Output. This way I can compare my previous mixes to my current mix, section by section, without sending my Mixes track through the final plugins.
My solution? I hardly ever use the mixer. I have it on a second monitor. I do most of my mixing in the arraignment window. Let’s by honest, we aren’t mixing multiple tracks in real time. We are automating them. I’m perfectly happy to use the volume sliders in the arrangement window. Between that and the Inspector you have everything you need. I even got a second monitor to get myself to use the mixer more. But I don’t. 😄
Wow. This is gold. How have I worked without this. The single view is going to save sooo much time hunting for sends.. just wow.
it was a mystery to me !
old school despite knowing and working on logic since the Emagic days,
I was doing it like a pirate and with your videos I'm finally starting to understand
what is "good sound"...
thank you chris
This is priceless!! That little menu drives me crazy! I might actually use ALL of these methods, and I didn't know ANY of them!! Thanks man! 😊
Excellent. I only knew about one of these. Never realised what the Single View was for. Thanks!!!!!
Awesome, as usual. I knew about the “Single” mode but not the Shift trick, or the Slow Down function. Thanks, Chris!
I've been using Logic for 6 years now and didn't know any of these options. Great addition to my workflow! Thanks!
Wow Chris! I'll be honest, based on the title, I didn't think this would be a hugely important video for me but this is a game changer for sure.

SOOOOOOOOO helpful, and just at the right time too! Always top notch, quality, practical tips 👌 Bravo again Chris!👏
I just stumbled onto this channel. Wow, these are the best Logic videos on youtube. Super helpful, and concise!
Chris , you are miles ahead of other videos with your personal "get to the point" approach . Going to watch the rest of your playlists -SUBSCRIBED !

Yeah, I wish Colorizer was cheaper, but it's worth it. It really helps with workflow, plus it's pretty ;)
I looove LPX Colorizer!! I got it for $10 off on Black Friday haha
This will really help me navigate to find the channel strips that seem to multiply exponentially during projects. Super useful. Why am I not surprised. I look forward to your next video.
As usual, you give solutions to problems I never knew I had, respect.
So helpful!! My projects get pretty large in track size, so this is AWESOME!!! Thanks Chris.
Huge thanks Chris, I was wondering for ages how to do exactly what you described in this video. Really really helpful for big projects. Have a nice day!
Hey Chris, all your videos are extremely informative and tell a lot about all the little things which are extremely important but are not easily understood or known to even some of the users like me who have been using Logic Pro for a long time..Thanks so much for all the valuable knowledge
You've nailed it! I had no idea about these tips. Going to save me so much frustration!
The Shift Click on the Bus is Life Changing - You're a Legend!!!
Very helpful. Something else I don't see talked about or used is the fact that you can name your buses.
Thanks for another helpful video! I didn't know about the shift clicking to find a bus. Much appreciated!
This channel has been invaluable to me, thanks as always for another great video!

Thank you very very much! You are so great! Solve all my Mixer buses problems!
Thank you so much for your valuable contributions!!
Great tips, thank you for sharing this.

This was soooo helpful, thank you!
Great tips, as always!
Super helpful. Thanks again!
Killer Tips. Thanx so much !!!
I have created a shortcut for "Send on Fader - Cycles Through Sends" so I can enable it, cycle through the sends, and disable it.
Too useful! 😎
I always learn something with these videos!
Brilliant! Love all these tips
Great video, proper useful!
Excellent, thank you! Shift is saving us.
Really helpful, thank you 🙏

Great 🔥immediately helpful, Thank You 🙂
I didn't know these! Thank you!!!!
very useful video. Thank you.
Great video keep it up thanks 🕺🏾
Great stuff!
Thanks Chris
Awesome trip-hop right after the 2 min mark! Where can I find the album? Oh, now back to learning LPX…
WOW YOU ALWAYS COME BACK WITH GREAT CONTENT ...AND NOW YOU REALLY SAVE ME FROM ONE OF MY NUMBER ONE ISSUES THANK YOU BROTHER THAT'S WHY I DON'T REGRET BEING A SUBCRIBER FOR YOUR CHANNEL YOU ROCK ....BTW COULD YOU PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT NOVATION IN LOGIC THE LAUNCH KEY SERIE?
Gold. Thank you very much :)
Very helpful tips, Chris. What about finding orphan aux channels that blow up the mixer view, is there any way locating those?
Thumbs up for the sends on faders tip! I still prefer the old way of just single or double clicking on sends or outputs for navigating though. The "three times high light thing" is not as good for identifying routings imo.
It will be great if you can make a video on Independent Pan function and the ways to Pan the main signal and the send signal Independently
Just Wow!!! thank you so much
Great info. I would love to know if there's a way to get rid of buses that are no longer being used. Sometimes opening a midi instrument automatically creates busses that I don't use and forget about. Thanks!!
Great!!! Thank you...

Hey love your channel! Is there any Logic Pro plug-ins like sound toys microshift ?
Is it possible to move around tracks in mixer view, change order of tracks
Great Channel! When I change automation on one Region, all Regions Change. Is it possible to change just one individual Region?
Thanks a lot
Why not just use track stacks for each instrument( drums, bass, vocals etc) and normal busses for verbs and delays and other processing? I find that to be very efficient as the bus track on a track stack is immediately to the left of the tracks.
How did you do the slowdown??? 8:24
amazing!!
Shift-Click !! Yay! finally.
Instead of shift+click a bus send, you can also just click on the send volume button right next to it, no menu popping here
Great video! thank you. Curious if you always use your Stereo Output as your final "2 bus" (where you will put your overall EQ, Comps, etc.) For myself, I have a track called "Mixes" (comp folder of all of the mix versions) routed to the Stereo Output.

Yes. I also do the same. Great for incorporating reference mixes for comparison as well
Interesting idea. I must try this way of setting up my signal flow. This seems very useful.
excelent
My mind is blown.
Why Logic Pro Rules RULES!
My solution? I hardly ever use the mixer. I have it on a second monitor. I do most of my mixing in the arraignment window.

I even got a second monitor to get myself to use the mixer more. But I don’t. 😄
👌🏻
❤❤❤
I like your moooouuuuustache :)
You don't need to hold shift if you double click on any of the assignments
it’s almost as if there’s something in logic i don’t know in every video you make
🤟🙏🏻
Great video keep it up thanks 🕺🏾
