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!
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.
I must say...I have viewed many many other UA-cam 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!!
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?
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.
+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
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.
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!
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?
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
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?
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 ...
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 !!
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!
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
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!
yep, just finished it and I'm only more confused than when I initially hit play. not that I really learned anything, and kudos to those who csn.pick up the explanations so quickly...the thing about post pan..do you put it there when you're mastering?pre, post, post pan...ugh...you spoke English, yes you did, but just not my brain's language. as I said, the moment I understand I will then know how I needed to learn it...how my logic 'gets it'. if there were 2 guys just like me, both equally deaf to this...the minute I understand it, I will know exactly how to get the other guy who's just as dumb as i, to get it. everyone has that moment where the light goes off in there head...'ah hah!'. I'm just waiting for that to happen.
U have a natural gift of teaching... the nicest, chilled-out most informative video on UA-cam concerning this topic
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!
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 !!!

Not sure if im more impressed by his teaching skills or his relaxing voice
Wow! Of all the vids out there that try to explain Sends, Busses and Auxes, this is, hands-down, the best. Thanks!
After all these years i finally get it DUH great explanation I owe you for this.
this is free college!!!!!!!!!!!

dude.... i wish every video was like this
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.
Finally a comprehensive explanation.....THANK YOU !!!
Man you would blow these new people out of the water ! Great job I hope your still doing music
Finally a technical explanation w/o sound. Thank you teacher !
Great video, I've been trim to understand this and you make it very easy to get my hand around it.
Well done. And on a topic that can wrap you around an axle if not explained simply. Thanks a bunch!
Super helpful. ..A little more light at the end of the tunnel 👍👍
Thank you for creating such a humble tutorial. It was very helpful.
I'm learning....very clear, straightforward, and helpful

BRILLIANT! Brilliant I tell YOU! Awesome tutorial! Saved me SO much time. Thank you.
Still relevant in 2020! Super initiative. Thank you.
Hey man thanks for the video I think I’m gonna watch it couple times for better understanding cause I’m new to it
I have just got this thank you so much because for all the yeas I have been stuck, am now happy
Thank you for keeping this video up. It was easy to understand and Im grateful.
This was a great ,well explained lesson. Thank you!
Thanks,, you clearly explained it,, your English is very clear, thanks once more,,, and ,, may god bless
Interesting. Thanks. I didn't know much about prefader. I will have to give it a try.
Thank you. Clear and concise, just what I needed.
Great video, expertly delivered. Thank you.
Awesome and clear with great attitude !! Thanks
anyone else think this guy sounds like Anthony Fantano?? AMAZING TUTORIAL THO THANK YOU
Outstanding tutorial. Thank you.
Thank you, you have a gift for teaching I agree. Well explained and I got it. God bless
Absolutely thank you so much for your brillant tutorial video.
Thank you. If you enjoyed this, please share the video
Thanks, It couldn't be simpler. Great Explanation on Sends and Buses..
Anderson Fuentes Thanks!

This is very informative awesome tutorial
Thanks so much for the very helpful video. Very easily explained, cheers!
Thank you! The clearest and most informative tutorial on using any element of any DAW that I’ve ever come across. Liked and subscribed.
excellent explanation. Thank you
hi just saw some video of you channel ...quite amazing ....can you make a full logic mixer/mixing tutorial please?
Great explanation. Good Job.
Very good tutorial.
Thanks Sammer - please share it, if you enjoyed it !
Great explanation, thank you very much
THANK YOU so much for this lesson!!!!
This is going to help a lot.
I'm guessing post pan includes post fade? Thanks for the video.
Thank you, I finally understand how these work now. :)
your a really good teacher thanks for this mate reallly appreciate it
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?
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
excellent teaching, clarity relevance and concision. -so when in post pan is it post or pre fader?
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.
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! ;)

Very helpful! Thank you very much!
That is a RAD vid my man. 100%
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?
Excellent thanks!
Do you have any videos on how you set your Channel Strip? Mine does not look like that.
Thank you! Great tutorial!

Step by step video of in order of creating sends and buses
Okay, now I get it. Thank you!
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?
How do you clear compression reverb..etc on your buses?
Good tutorial
*Saves on college tuition. ;)*
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 ...
What!! If it's not about the audio signal then what is it about???
You should teach, you are good at it
Hope you find the videos useful Can - cheers for the response :-)
So will post pan take into consideration the fader levels of bus & audio ?
Got it! Thanks so much.
Well, done!! Thanks so much! :)
+robertwhite glad you found this useful Robert, cheers for watching :-)
This is great. Can we have one on sidechaining?
So is “pan” mode.....pre fader or post fader?
can use Bus to reduce my problems with I/O Buffer size overload?
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 !!

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
Jah bless u buddy
hi! Thanks. Do you have a tutorial, you said? Tell me, please! Thanks!!
Daniel;=)
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?
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍
hello. I compliment you on your effort to explain busses, sends, aux...but my brain is so stubborn.
