Click in the Output field, and select an unused Bus.

In the Mixer window, select the Channel Strips to be included in the new subgroup.

Subgroups ultimately wind up bussed to the MIX bus. Click in the Output field and select an unused bus.Īs mentioned in our longer blog post, subgroups can be used to process one type of instrument, like drums, or a group of similar instruments, like low-frequency sounds.Swipe across all the Channel Strips in your project to select them all.

Open the floating Mixer window by pressing Command + 2.Here’s how to create custom master faders and mix busses: Logic’s Stereo Output control is often used as a master volume control, but it may also affect the level of your bounced mix, so be careful about moving Logic’s Stereo Output from unity. Adjustments to the full mix are better made on a user-created master bus, or mix bus aux channel strip that comes before the stereo output in Logic’s signal flow. Leave this output channel strip at unity as well. Logic’s Stereo Output level control is the volume control for a specific output pair from your interface, like Out 1-2. When working in stereo, this Master output VCA fader should generally be left at unity (0dB) and never touched. It is a great way to make adjustments, for example, to all outputs at once when working in surround. It controls the levels of all the physical outputs on multi-output interfaces. Logic automatically creates a fader labeled “Master,” which is not really a standard master fader, but a VCA fader (see the VCA sidebar at the end of this article). Creating Master Faders and Mix BussesĪ master fader processes the entire mix for the final “glue” or tonal shaping and also for the final fade-out. Here you’ll learn how to apply the same techniques in Logic Pro X. In our article “ Take Advantage of Busses and Subgroups for Great Sound Mixes ,” we cover the applications for mix and aux busses and how to create them in Pro Tools.
