Man this is amazing, it takes a lot of skill to teach something this clearly and concisely. Thanks heaps!
Thanks so much legend!
thank you for this - it's cleaned up the track visual work flow and gave me much more control over not just drums - clear, efficient, well done!
My pleasure!
Thanks for the succinct explanation, kind sir!
My pleasure!
Thank you 🙏lovely video and just so beautifully explained.
You’re welcome! Thanks 🙏🏼
Cool, very cool.
Cheers!
Thank you ! ! Excellent work mate ! !
Thanks Kim!
AMAZING! thanks for making this dude! Made it so simple to follow 😍
You’re welcome!
Thank you for sharing this sir Rhys
No problem!
u are the king
Cheers man!
if you first group for example Bass Drums, Snare, Toms, Cymbals etc. and THEN stack all these toghether...you will be much faster and you don't have to set busses outputs manually!
For sure. I just wanted to show how to set up a simple drum bus and then the next option by adding individual busses - but if you’re going to do busses for the individual drums then that could save an extra click 😂
Can you make a logic pro x mixing template similar to the jaycen joshua one for pro tools?
Hm, woulden't it be easier to start by creating a summing stack of the individual tracks.
- Kick in + kick out into a summing stack called BD
- Snare top + snare bottom into a summing stack called SD
- and so forth with hihat, cymbals, toms and room much like you did, but into summing stacks.
THEN click all the summing stacks and create a new summing stack (as summing stacks have the possibility to have 2 levels).
The advantage with this solution is that you can collapse all the summing stacks instead of seeing Kick Aux, Kick in and Kick Out, you would just see one summing stack called BD. You can still automate a Summingstack.
For the newer versions of logic you can have track stacks within track stacks. When I made this video I was on an older version of logic. Still, Same results - slightly different view/fold down options. Either way this is going to work well for mixing drums!
can you elaborate a bit more on changing the output of the drums to bus 32 that you labeled as “mix”? i’m not understanding the purpose of that. how would dropping a reference track affect anything? sorry i’m new to logic, recent garageband grad
thank you for your help
Hey man! I just route everything when mixing to a seperate bus instead of the stereo out - this then become my mix bus. I can apply processing to the mix as a whole there. If I decide to put a reference track into the session, it will play through the stereo out and none of my mix bus processing will get applied to it, making it possible to compare my mix to the reference. Hope that makes sense
@@spinlightstudios thank you so much for the reply my guy! so just to double check if i’m understanding, if the drum bus is not sent to bus 32 “mix” and is set to “stereo out” instead, then any change you do to the drum bus will affect everything including other instruments?
Awesome video mate. Excellently presented and easy to understand! Except I use Pro tools. 😂, So I’m just wondering if you could possibly do an exact same video but using Pro Tools? If you don’t use Pro Tools, I totally understand but I’m trying to learn how to create a good drum mic recording template and can’t seem to find any decent pro tools videos out there by a drummer, doing exactly what you have done. 👍
Thanks Harry! Ah, I wish I could help but I don’t use pro tools 😓 wish I could help mate!
@@spinlightstudios No probs mate, al good. I’ll figure it out.
4:12. You mentioned stereo out channel. Do you mean the master bus? Thanks
Yeah just the main output in logic!
Hey! How would you go about templates when you tracks to mix? Do you load up your template and drag the tracks from the browser? Or is there a way to load all the tracks in logic, and apply the template? Cheers !
When I’m sent a song for mixing, I typically just drop the files into an empty session and set it all up. Mix templates don’t really work that well in my opinion. It takes me about 5 minutes to group everything and set up all the routing. I also don’t use the exact same signal chains for every mix. I like to listen and decide what it needs, doing the same thing every mix feels a little too cookie cutter to me!
Why does it feedback when Par comp is bussed to drum buss?
It shouldn’t, it would only feedback if you had the drum bus feeding back into itself. As long as the drum bus out is stereo out or a separate mix (that is going to stereo out) you shouldn’t experience feedback.
Do you route your parallel process (Crush & Kit Verb) to the Drum Bus or to Stereo Out?
I send the parallel compression to the drum bus and the kit verb to the stereo out(mix bus)
Can ı download this template?
Not currently, but the video gives you a step by step on how to make it yourself :)
