I went through two other busing tutorials that didn't work for me because the "Send" button wasn't where they said it would be. It wasn't until I reached :49 of this tutorial that I was able to solve that problem (right-clicking was the solution). Grateful new subscriber!
Ahhhhh.... the deep satisfaction of finally finding someone who knows how to teach. It's so uncommon on the internet to find folks who are willing to take the time necessary to focus on one subject alone and clarify it in isolation. This is how we learn. We figure out what a piece of the puzzle is, then another piece, and another, and only then can we truly appreciate it when someone says "OK now let's put all these pieces together and do some cool shit." THANK YOU! Subscribed!
I must say...I have viewed many many other RUclips videos of this topic and got frustrated and confused. But you have explained this content in lay-mans terms which was easy for me to understand....Thanks soooo much!!! Yes I hit the subscribe and like button!! Can't wait for more Logic Pro X for morons lol like me who's very creative and a great vocalist . Been singing for years and never had the desire to engineer...Since being in the digital world now Im forced to learn having my own recording studio in my house plus it's fun to produce all your work. Thanks again!!
Very thorough and like the fact you reviewed the material at the end. Repetition is good. Would like to have an actual example of how to use the bus routes effectively, but very good presentation.
+JordanDinstrumentals That really IS an important element of panning in modern DAWs! Thanks for checking out the video. Make sure you subscribe for more helpful tips! ;)
+JordanDinstrumentals Pre-Fader would be used when you do not want the volume setting of a track to alter the loudness of audio being sent via a bus to an aux track. Post-Fader would be used when you want the volume settings to be reflected in that send. So if there is volume automation on a track and you want those changes to be heard on the aux channel, then you want Post-Fader. Pre-Fader is great for ghost tracks and side-chain trigger tracks. ;) Send parameter is relative to track output and pre/post-fader setting.
+Creating EDM - If I set a track post-fader and my send level is 50% and my fader is set at -10 db, what happens to the send level (50%) relative to if I go up on my fader to -5db or down to -15 db, for example? I'm really trying to understand this at it's core so I understand what situations to use it in
Clearer than most tutorials on busses, but some analogies help "challenged" people like myself. I the why, but don't see how various signals get from one trk to an auxillary.
Does the Bus take all three modes into consideration before sending it to the destination or is it just the mode (pre fade, post fade, pan) that is selected?
Thanks man! Quick question: How can I give a name to a bus nr? Great job and I enjoyed the free tutorial. Keep up the good work and enjoy music & life!
Appreciate! In fact, when send to to the Bus 1, we can only see the Aux 1! How to call out the Bus 1? Even when try to create a Bus, we can get no Bus 1! It even though we command the Bus 2 to Bus 1(change the Bus channel), it still hidden? Weird, right?
Very good video, thank you. Just a question. I assume post-pan option would work only if aux track is a stereo one, which does not seem to be the case here. Or not?
What planet are you from ???? I am in SHOCK !! Simple and precise explantions! Thank you so much and you don't HAVE to have your picture up here taking up space !!! Some REALLY shouldn't !! LOL !! Keep it coming AND do you give private instruction about pushing limits i.e. Logic Pro X 10.4.2. Slate everything, new Eventide 4 part "NewFangled Suite" plugins (incredible). I have a "toy" problem !! Visited all your FB sites !! THANK YOU !!
well, i though you are gonna explain what exactly buss channel does and how it works ... but too many talking about audio signal and so one. as a beginner , its overwhelming ...
This is a fantastic video. Just a question to clarify because I'm sort of new to Logic and all of this. I'm working on creating a template in Logic of orchestral sounds (Kontakt Libraries). If I have a track stack of say, Woodwinds, and I wanted to route all of these to the same reverb plugin, I would do that using a bus? For example if I wanted all of my woodwinds to run into the same verb plugin, I'd assign them all to bus 1? Thank you for any help you can offer.
Could you please explain to me if I create a track stack in logic ( summed ) and they are all sent to the same bus , can I then delete the individual effects on these tracks on the insert fx section and just insert them onto the bus effects insert ? As I’m struggling with cpu thanks
Great video! I'm doing exactly as you're saying, but my printed audio track volume level is lower/quieter than my original track volume level. The form is smaller visually as well, almost like the bus volume that i'm sending from the original track is too low. however it's set at +0.0 pre-fader. Any suggestions on how to get that volume up? Thanks!
hello. I compliment you on your effort to explain busses, sends, aux...but my brain is so stubborn. I'm 64, right now I'm working with Sonar plat. I'm from the old reel to reel days. my mixers weren't that elaborate. 4 busses at most. just a home studio. I never paid any mind to them. then I got into Roland vs standalone recorders. many more, but all in all, I'm coming to the pc format as it is so much easier...sorry the lengthy explain, but try as I might, I can't get my head wrapped around the bus thing. I get the send...that's like the effects out and back in thingy. hey...you said, don't feel stupid, so if someone's gonna put up an explanation of busses etc, he should teach it in a way that entire class is gonna graduate. well, I'm dying to learn, my friend. I get more confused with the added track when creating a bus. to me it looks like a track, not a bus. maybe if I could see a block diagram of what the path of a buss looks like...or maybe what the Blick looks like before the buss is added and maybe a colored line showing signal flow...this being done with the various sends busses, aux's. you see what I'm getting at? I will watch this 10 times and not be able to take away anything from it and believe me, I do want to. I also know that once it's explained to me in a way I can understand it, then I'll understand your method of teaching it. man I want to learn this so bad... sorry
I will totally PayPal ya good Sir, for a private lesson on all of this regarding Logic Project im at a complete standstill on because of the CPU usage being used up... wants to overload every several seconds when trying to listen/mix, even record... I think I just learn better in my specific situation... I get the 'idea' of bussing... but the tiny specifics with plugins thrown into the pot, just is really confusing me. I know this vid is several years ago but if you are willing, I need a 1 on 1 lol ... let me know good Sir and I'll throw ya some cash asap!
Audio trak & Aux both appear to be mono, pan L R from "split" mono to input(audio) to aux. thru volume fader, bus up to L/R Aux dial of trak (blue/green)? being mono wouldn't the signal to aux just be 50/50 wet/dry? Why not send 100% audio bused to aux and use the 100% signal and 100% original trak to another aux stereo? thanx
Jimmy Westra Can you please explain your questions a bit more? The color differences, and their position in relation to the send knob, are indicating the send mode (pre fader, post fader or post pan). The signal being sent from the original channel to the auxiliary channel is not affected in any way, so I am not sure I understand your comment/question regarding wet/dry. What is shown in the video is 100% of the original audio being sent to an auxiliary track. There is no discussion about effects. There is no mention of stereo vs. mono. Panning is relevant regardless and panning settings are only carried over a bus when operating in post pan mode.
I believe I am thinking the audio being split in terms of anolog where possibly the signal coming in was loosing a % by splitting where as it most likely is just being brought in as stereo or mono (choices) and being digital is not loosing any of the audio data whatsoever. My main worry is efficiancy tho my system is in protools perimiters to do what Iam doing I tend to bouge down my cpu unless I can get the max performance thru being entirely efficiante. Thanx for responding
U have a natural gift of teaching... the nicest, chilled-out most informative video on RUclips concerning this topic
I learned more in this 10 minute video than I have in GarageBand/Logic in the last 2 weeks. I can’t begin to thank you enough !!!
I went through two other busing tutorials that didn't work for me because the "Send" button wasn't where they said it would be. It wasn't until I reached :49 of this tutorial that I was able to solve that problem (right-clicking was the solution). Grateful new subscriber!

Wow! Of all the vids out there that try to explain Sends, Busses and Auxes, this is, hands-down, the best. Thanks!
Not sure if im more impressed by his teaching skills or his relaxing voice
After all these years i finally get it DUH great explanation I owe you for this.
Finally a comprehensive explanation.....THANK YOU !!!
Thanks,, you clearly explained it,, your English is very clear, thanks once more,,, and ,, may god bless
Super helpful. ..A little more light at the end of the tunnel 👍👍
I have just got this thank you so much because for all the yeas I have been stuck, am now happy
Finally a technical explanation w/o sound. Thank you teacher !
Thank you for creating such a humble tutorial. It was very helpful.

Hey man thanks for the video I think I’m gonna watch it couple times for better understanding cause I’m new to it
Very thorough and like the fact you reviewed the material at the end. Repetition is good. Would like to have an actual example of how to use the bus routes effectively, but very good presentation.
Man you would blow these new people out of the water ! Great job I hope your still doing music
BRILLIANT! Brilliant I tell YOU! Awesome tutorial! Saved me SO much time. Thank you.
Well done. And on a topic that can wrap you around an axle if not explained simply. Thanks a bunch!
Great video, I've been trim to understand this and you make it very easy to get my hand around it.
I'm learning....very clear, straightforward, and helpful
Thank you for keeping this video up. It was easy to understand and Im grateful.
Thank you! The clearest and most informative tutorial on using any element of any DAW that I’ve ever come across. Liked and subscribed.
This is very informative awesome tutorial
Still relevant in 2020! Super initiative. Thank you.
This was a great ,well explained lesson. Thank you!
Thank you. Clear and concise, just what I needed.
anyone else think this guy sounds like Anthony Fantano?? AMAZING TUTORIAL THO THANK YOU
excellent explanation. Thank you
Great video, expertly delivered. Thank you.

This is going to help a lot.
dude.... i wish every video was like this
Thanks, It couldn't be simpler. Great Explanation on Sends and Buses..
Anderson Fuentes Thanks!
Ole berthelse
P
Awesome and clear with great attitude !! Thanks
Very good tutorial.
Thanks Sammer - please share it, if you enjoyed it !
Outstanding tutorial. Thank you.
So is the Post Pan pre or post fader? Does it read the Channels fader or the Bus/Aux fader? Sorry I don’t think this wasn’t explained.
I was wondering exactly the same thing
Thank you, you have a gift for teaching I agree. Well explained and I got it. God bless
Interesting. Thanks. I didn't know much about prefader. I will have to give it a try.
Thanks so much for the very helpful video. Very easily explained, cheers!
That is a RAD vid my man. 100%
Excellent thanks!
Absolutely thank you so much for your brillant tutorial video.
Thank you. If you enjoyed this, please share the video
I'm guessing post pan includes post fade? Thanks for the video.
Thank you for this
Really awesome video, helped me a lot! Thank you man.
thanks alot for this, no other videos i watched made it clear the importance of post pan.
+JordanDinstrumentals That really IS an important element of panning in modern DAWs! Thanks for checking out the video. Make sure you subscribe for more helpful tips! ;)
Creating EDM already have! if you dont mind what would be the typical situations you would want to set it to pre fader or post fader?

hi just saw some video of you channel ...quite amazing ....can you make a full logic mixer/mixing tutorial please?
So helpful! Thanks a bunch!!
Clearer than most tutorials on busses, but some analogies help "challenged" people like myself. I the why, but don't see how various signals get from one trk to an auxillary.
Great video
Thank you, I finally understand how these work now. :)
THANK YOU so much for this lesson!!!!
Great explanation. Good Job.
Great explanation, thank you very much
your a really good teacher thanks for this mate reallly appreciate it
excellent teaching, clarity relevance and concision. -so when in post pan is it post or pre fader?
Thanks Man,👊
Love the video but I'm still confused about the post pan setting. If the signal is post pan is it also post fader or not?
Does the Bus take all three modes into consideration before sending it to the destination or is it just the mode (pre fade, post fade, pan) that is selected?
Step by step video of in order of creating sends and buses
So is “pan” mode.....pre fader or post fader?
Very helpful! Thank you very much!
Thank you! Great tutorial!

Do you have any videos on how you set your Channel Strip? Mine does not look like that.

You should teach, you are good at it
Hope you find the videos useful Can - cheers for the response :-)
Well, done!! Thanks so much! :)

Good tutorial
very helpful thank you !
Got it! Thanks so much.
excellent...thank you.
So will post pan take into consideration the fader levels of bus & audio ?
Thanks dude
You're most welcome
Awesome.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍
How do you clear compression reverb..etc on your buses?
can use Bus to reduce my problems with I/O Buffer size overload?
Dead comments but, then you sent from the buss to the master?
Why send to a bus? What is the purpose of the signal?
Is it mono?
Jah bless u buddy
Holy Shit you sound like Dwight Schrute ! Great video man helped a lot!
Yooo thought the same exact thing, was waiting for him to mention beets or some shit
hi! Thanks. Do you have a tutorial, you said? Tell me, please! Thanks!!
Daniel;=)
Still don't understand. I get the concept of tracks, and the master, but don't understand what the bus is for.

Why you use busses
