Logic Pro X: Sends, Buss & Aux (Beginners guide)

If you've ever wondered how professional producers and mix engineers achieve that polished, larger-than-life sound in Logic Pro X, the secret lies in understanding Sends, Busses, and Auxes.
These three features might sound daunting at first, but don't worry! In this video I breakdown how, when and why you should use them, and demystify sends, busses, and auxes, helping you unlock their magic and take your tracks to new levels.
Hope you enjoy the video :)

I go to college for audio engineer and my teacher who got two grammys could not get me to understand it man . Had to come here 🤣

[@kcsounds]

The Grammys are just for show 🤣 Cheers for watching

Simplest explanation ever. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@duskatdawn7]

Pro tools has a channel that you can create called master mix giving the user full control over all tracks to change the volume levels for each track at once with the slider, keeping your mix volumes in tack on each track. How do I find this and create it for a project in Logic 11?

[@kcsounds]

This sounds like track stacks in Logic Pro. Something I’m still getting used to myself. Highlight the channels you want in the Edit window, right-click and choose ‘Create track stacks’. Choose your preference - job done. Hope that helps, and cheers for watching

@@kcsounds The other thing I like is you talk to us like we are in the room and we're having a conversation, as opposed to some videos, that jump every 2 seconds to be 'hip'. You have a fabulous easy and welcoming manner and style. Just subscribed too. I never knew how to do this until today, so again, thank you

How much is the level if you just add the effect plugin to a channel vs if you set aux channel?

[@kcsounds]

On a channel insert, you can use the Mix knob or, Dry/Wet function to control the level. If that’s what you meant?

[@jeromesix9684]

Dunno is this is a silly lol I Trackstack my Low End, Hats, Claps, Percs, Vox, Synths & FX separately. I then have [Bus1 : Drum compression / glue] - [Bus 2 : Drum Reverb] & [Bus 3 : Delay] I send each Trackstack to each Bus so i can adjust the amounts of reverb/delay etc. When I apply a high pass filter on the drums on a break the drums still come through on the reverb channel. What is the best way to fix this? By adding a filter channel then sending them there? or is there a better option. Just seems so long on Logic.

[@kcsounds]

It’s not silly if it works for you. Sounds like signal is still being sent to the Reverb Buss even though it’s been filtered. You could mute the Reverb, or Automate the Reverb Buss. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching

[@riasure]

Hey KC sounds, I am still using sends, busses & auxes, like you, but was just wondering do you ever use summing tracks instead to achieve similar results? And if not any reason why not?

[@kcsounds]

Hey Ria, that’s a good question. I don’t really use them, unless I’ve been sent a session that has them on, maybe I should start using them? I’m so used to the way that I do things that I don’t feel the need to change it, but I’m open to switch up my workflow and not get left behind. What’s your reason for doing it the same way as me?

[@riasure]

Hey KC, really appreciate your response. My reason for doing things same way as you, is because I am old school😂. Guess I haven’t fully utilised or embraced some of the advancements in Logic Pro, as I was using it before track stacks were around (Emagic days😄). But am now thinking it’s time to try using them)and was curious as to why you hadn’t made the leap either😄. If you do decide to try them, then would welcome a video on that too🙏🏾👍🏾

[@kcsounds]

It’s a case of… if it’s not broke, don’t fix it lol. Yea, I’ll do a video on how I sometimes use track stacks 🙌🏾

[@trumanblack4377]

What auto tune plugin do you use?

[@kcsounds]

Depends on the vocalist. Antares, Melodyne or Logics Pitch Correction. What do you use?
