6 Ways Logic's Mixer is More Versatile Than You Thought Possible

[@grantpowell5226]

I appreciate these videos SO much! Thank you for taking time out of your day to teach me more about my DAW! I thought I knew everything after using it for 10 years... I was wrong.

[@Theophanes68]

Chris, I am already loving this series and know it will continue to be a great reference into the future. I've been using Logic as my primary DAW for over 20 years since the Emagic days and am continually blown away by all the tips and tricks that I learn from you and equally blown away at how Apple has continued to improve upon Logic over the years. It's simply amazing, all the major updates with no additional $ to be paid by existing users. Glad to see the continued rise of subscribers and support for your channel, you more than deserve it, keep up the great work! Theo

[@warrenburroughs3025]

Agreed, and I've been using it since the C-Lab days on Atari. So more than 30 years, and I didn't know about that copy fader to sends feature.

[@ManCalledMif]

Very helpful overview video. Thank you for showing us dual mono at 4:53 sounds great. Stereo effects EQ makes a massive difference to the sound; like a Moog Matriarch.

[@Andy_XR]

Great series. Been using Logic since 8, and your series has opened up loads of new possibilties. Thank you!

[@TheAerials]

This is so helpful. I was hacking my way around the individual pan with sends pre fader, this is so much easier. Thank you for these videos!!

[@chriswftdj]

Massive respect to you for doing this.

[@albertwangny]

Can you show us how to rearrange the Bus or Aux orders in the Mixer window? Thank you so much!

[@brandyman5]

Very helpful! The sends on faders bit was a GAME CHANGER...I've been wanting that! Thank you! Did you mention what Binaural Pan does/is?

[@wildbird78]

Duuuude, adjusting reverb on both L and R channels omg, so sick!

[@artprojectsnz]

Excellent as usual and so useful..cheers. JPMusic

[@DavidDiMuzio]

Is there a way to change the default of stereo track's panning knobs to stereo pan instead of balance? That would be really helpful because I rarely use balance for stereo tracks.

[@garygimmestad4272]

I couldn’t find a way to do this through Logic Help. As with many other configurations, it apparently can only be established as a default through saving it in a Template.

[@learningideas]

So many “oh wow” moments watching these videos. Thanks so much.

[@laurenpassarelli3318]

So awesome, Chris, as usual. Thank you.

[@victornoagbodji]

Thanks so much for doing these videos 😊🙏The Yamaha Grand Piano has been my go-to piano. But while in the Mixer panel, I discovered that they synthesized it using a synth instrument. This is disappointing to me because this single instrument uses 2 buses on its own. It also has many effects plugins tacked onto it. It should have been its own instrument. I am going to have to find another piano that leaves my mixer alone. Do you happen to have a video that covers some of the effect plugins? 🤔

[@vinniereck7536]

This is gooood stuff. Thanks man 😎👌

[@AdamGoodlet]

Great video, great presentation and tips!

[@danielpicard3994]

I learn so much from your channel! Thank you!

[@Beatledave7]

Fantastic tutorial thank you Chris!

[@InternalEye]

Love 🎸 Logic Pro X ☮️ - So awesome... Great video 🙏

[@djohnson2449]

Great series! I'm wagering the down-vote is a bitter and jealous PC Cubase user, filled with Logic Pro X envy. Your channel is a favorite; thank you for your thoughtful and informative videos. :)

[@TheCit]

Nice video! Is possible to change the order of the busses or aux?

[@steveboris6286]

I came across a video a little while ago for making punchier kicks in mono. They recommended using Binaural Pan in mono and moving the balance to dead center. I have to admit you can really smack those kicks. Is there a downside to this practice?

[@rafaelhernandez5550]

Hi, I am new using Logic Pro X how can I make the mixer large in a second monitor setup? Thanks

[@albertwangny]

I know we can let the Bus show up in the Project window then change the orders. My question is how to find out the bus in the Mixer window if I send the aux track, or I already sent the aux track in such as 50 bus, how can I easily find it out in the Mixer window when you have over a hundred tracks?

[@redguitar6062]

Is it possible to route the L and R of an audio track to separate outputs? I'd like to play electric guitar on a stereo track and send the L and R out to independent FX chains. I would also like to maintain an "original" signal too if possible.

[@YELLINGINTOTHEVOID]

You are such a g dude! Thank you.

[@OfficialFatLip]

is there a way to create bus masters where they can bounce audio unto themselves with with out effects etc?

[@Kris_jellybeard]

Awesome, i learned something new!

[@prodbydeclipse1403]

Finally... now I know what dual mono is.

[@dafingaz]

Very helpful!

[@musictech5789]

bro, i just want to be able to move and arrange tracks within the mixer and not having to do it in the arrangement view.... can you tell me how to do that?

[@garycummingsjr.6896]

Very helpful

[@AndrewLeSynt]

6:13 lol, i have searched for that for yers (without rtfm or googling it of course) lol!! just a right click. damn apple roxx

[@guitfar]

What you can't do with the mixer is rearranged Channel strip order. That is a big feature for me.

[@Cangsque]

THANKS! 🙏🏻

[@animalitos45]

to change the stereo function just click on the pan pot ,a choice should pop up

[@cmcdermott85]

you the man

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

Many things are a mistery for me still. i actually don´t hear the difference between mono and stereo for each plug in. And all the things of "send on bus" and bus things i don´t get, unless there is a reverb on them.

[@xsensvit8660]

YOU ARE FUCKING AWESOME MAN.

[@MonsieurVersatile]

But we still can’t drag the mixer channels and auxes around to reorder them, THE big weakness of the Logic mixer.

[@dreamfire_music]

This is exactly what I was going to ask about. There HAS to be way 😖

[@MonsieurVersatile]

@@dreamfire_music It's probably the most requested feature by users since time began! No sign of it appearing any time soon, though.

[@warrenburroughs3025]

The mixer follows the track order on the main page - top to bottom on the main page = left to right on the mixer. So unless Apple introduce this much requested feature this is the only way to currently rearrange the order of the mixer channels.

[@MonsieurVersatile]

@@warrenburroughs3025 Yes I think we're all aware of that but it's mad to have to open a track in the Arrange page or switch on automation just to get your auxes where you want them.

[@PETSWORLD_]

MY NOTES: Watch videos from description

[@autocosm]

I literally just use track notes to bump the track label higher so I can read and select tracks full screen without my App Dock hiding it.

[@austintaylor55]

Same!

[@pco2004]

@6:54 send to one side only

[@hoossembechiri5182]

Is the logic pro x tge best daw.. Than others daws. Pllllz??????????????

[@AlexLapugean]

No. The best DAW is the one you know how to use. That has much more impact to your music that the particular DAW you use. All modern proper DAWs do mostly the same things, but in slightly different ways. If you already own a DAW and know how to work with it, unless you really come to hate the workflow, stick with it. No point of switching, you just loose time learning another one, without gaining anything. If you're just starting out, just try a few and see which one do you like the workflow the most, maybe you have particular needs, maybe the price is a consideration. Logic is a very good choice then if you have a Mac, because it is cheaper than most, comes with a lot of sounds and instruments, and has a good interface.

[@JaeBTundra1]

@@AlexLapugean that's facts. Well said

[@eliaskapravelos7171]

Logic is great and l love it and it's features, Apple's anti consumer actions aren't, l've been using it since Logic 8 and for the first time l might have to look into something similar on PC, especially with the switch to ARM where possibly nothing third party will work for the first 1-2 years and the intel support will die out eventually. Just as the new Mac Pro finally got traction too...

[@ancelrick5396]

I survived the transition from Logic 4 on PowerPC to Logic on x86, the removal of VST and the introduction of AU plugins and then the 32-bit to 64 bit transition. It's not as sudden or bleak as you imaging.

[@gaunterodim8131]

I would buy Logic if it was available for Windows but I'm not trynna buy a shitty overpriced mac just for another daw

[@ivangeorge7137]

Dud... You go too fast, a lot of us need you to slow down, you're not talking to another you.
