The way Buses were explained to me was; say you have something to tell one person - you tell them directly. Now say you wanted to tell 50 people the same thing. You could spend a lot of time and energy telling them individually, or you could just address them as a group. This is how I got my head around it.
I understand the same ... but is right?
this is a late comment but this explanation makes sense fashitsho
or its a bus taking multiple people to the same destination versus multiple trips.
much better than what i've just seen
Smart
I have been baffled by buses until today. Loved the way you delivered this video too, so many content creators ramble on about irrelevant stuff so it was awesome to just hear the content delivered in a simple, easy to understand way! Thank you!!
Love this! 🙏😎 thanks a bunch!
Thanks sir
If you're using time based effects, I recommend to use post fader send and not a pre fader send. If you're mixing with faders and you have a reverb behind a pre fader send, the changes of your fader will NOT effect the reverb. Therefore you have to make adjustments to the send too. But if you have a post fader send the changes of the fader will also change the level that's going through the send and you don't have to change that separately.
Yes! Thank you for this.
Thanks man, just tried it and you are spot on. I would have never figured that out on my own.
This is very helpful - but as a beginner is the pre or post fader an option somewhere you have to select with most daws?
@@jayl5941 In most DAWs you can select the type of send from the send itself and most DAWs have at least pre fader and post fader sends (not sure about post pan send).
General rule of thumb (at least in live situations) is that PRE fader sends are usually used for compressions and distortion etc. POST fader sends are usually used with time based effects.
In the end there are no right and wrong way to do anything in DAWs since everything is basically possible in digital world. There is just way that is right for you.
@@Kinkerii awesome thanks so much! As a guitar player this makes sense to me. I'll check Luna for pre and post options.
Petition for Nathan to keep the “Hello this is Nathan Larsen....” in this song
Signed! :D :D
"If I had this at 19 I'd be a millionaire"
Well then why isn’t he rich now that he has it? What did he have at 19 that he doesn’t have now? Annoying ad
@@Zach4332 Fr!! Plus the only billionaire in the hip hop industry is Jay Z , so there’s no way the producer in the ad could reach billion
@@vibecore that ads just capitalizing on idiots lmao
Kkkkkk you made my day😂😂😂😂
💀... 😂
Hi Nathan, as a complete newbie to the world of DAW and logic etc, this video was without doubt the single most effective and transparent explanation of buses I have found anywhere on UA-cam. A million thanks 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Thank you for the simplicity. The video was quite informative and extremely useful. I look forward to future videos and appreciate very much the time and effort you obviously put in to these productions.
The best explanation I've watched. It cleared up so many questions. Thanks
Awesome!! Love that! Thanks a bunch 🙏🙏
Thank you for this! I recently switched from reaper and wasn't sure how buses worked on logic and most of the other videos I've watched didn't explain them well at all. I'm still a beginner when it comes to recording and mixing in general, so this was very helpful.
Thanks so much! The use of your hands in a very visual fashion made it much more understandable and comprehensible.
This is the best explanation on Buses & Sends till now. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and making it so simple for learners. Personally, it helps me a lot.
One of my favorite channels so far for music knowledge, thanks bro!!
Thanks Nathan for taking the time to explain this, hugely appreciated
this was such a good explanation, thank you sm. I was so confused why my project with only 25 tracks was having so many issues and now I know it's because I put so many plugins on each track. going to clean it up rn
Simple, concise and logical. This is the best explanation of busses I've seen on YT so far. I've watched a few of your videos, but this one got me to sub. Thank you sir - great explanation!
Great explanation of what Busses are and how to use them. Highly recommend this!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! I didn't understand busses, and you just saved me a serious ton of time going forward!! Thank you for this video!
I can't believe how informative and easy to understand this video is. I needed this. Thank you!
I had been putting off learning about bussing for no good reason and yours is exactly the video I needed! Can't wait for my laptop to not blow up with FX and cutting my production time in half :D
great video. i've struggled to figure out how to save time with busses for awhile and now i think i am finally getting it after watching your video. thank you so much!
Wow, you make the info so easy to digest, and simplify the complex process in mere sentences.This video is full of Golden Tips. Appreciate you for putting it out there.
Man...watching this vid a second time and have been refreshed. I forgot about Sends/Buses and their use! My Mid 2015 had a system overload though I increased the buffer size...(which I brought back down) because I put compression and a few others on EVERY TRACK!! Corrections are being made!! Thank you and God bless!!
Thanks for explaining this. I watched a few videos on this topic and this was the clearest explanation.
This actually helped thank you💯
Thank you so much for this. I have been producing my own EP for a couple songs I’ve written. Thanks to your video I have a much easier time for an idea for one of my songs that has tons of vocal tracks. Subscribed!
I've watched a number of videoes explaining the "BUS" concept. This is the best. Thanks for posting it!
I had already learnt a lot about busses and sends and I thought this would be the same. But I was wrong. I learnt a new thing about using a bus through bus. Thanks a lot man! Amazing!!!
First time here and got to say this tutorial on the bus has been so helpful and you explained it perfectly.
Loved this. Very new to recording and this just explained it without all the silly technospeak that wastes time and removes the will to live. Thanks
Awesome. I tried to learn this from another UA-camr, and watched his (much longer) video twice. All I can say is that he failed, at least with me. This was simple and you explained all the things he did not and now I'm using buses. Thank you!
Great explanation about buses, easy to understand with a great example!
Thank you! This video cleared this up so much for me!
Thanks for the info, really helped me out a lot with my Logic Pro venture
This was great man! I’m still demystifying bus’n, but this cleared up things for sure. Thanks!
Thanks for doing these videos man, you really explain important topics and everything is in a very clear way, hope you keep uploading!
Awesome! Love it! Yes I'm gonna keep uploading!
Thank-You Nathan for clarifying the "Bus" issue! Much appreciated!
Nathan, I like the way you explained it, gonna watch this again and again and again, very cool thanks
Thank you so very much for this simple understanding! I definitely need to start using busses for my mixing
Thanks Nathan, I am new to Logic and this is really helpful. You provide succinct explanations that even a new learner can comprehend. I am will be exploring your channel which will make me better at using this tool. Stay safe and healthy.
Awesome! Happy to help!
So simple yet efficent way to explain those stuff ,Keep on coming!
This video is a ten on ten. Explained perfectly! Keep up the good content!!
I’ve watched a lot of videos on bussing but this by far is THE most simply put informative video yet! Thanks Nathan! Saves a lot of time. Subscribed 👍🏻
im really sorry........🤧but i lost my frickin shit when i read bussing🤣-
no offense intended
for lead vocal tracks change output to bus 1, then for background vocals change their outputs to another bus say bus 2 it doesnt matter as long as its a new number, then on those busses youll be able to use their send knobs to put effects on all of them as a whole. That'll save time from putting the exact same plug ins on every individually and your computer won't freeze!
Thank you for the very good lesson, it's greatly appreciated!
Man, for years I thought you were stuck having a parallel bus and had to have the dry track alongside. Didn't know you could change the output, thanks for the vid!
Yep! For parallel you'd still want a copy though - if you don't like that workflow, you should check out BabyAudio's parallel aggressor
Thank you so much Nathan I finally understand what buses are now and how to use them. Now I am going to go to my DAW and try and use it in my first production.
perfect video just used it to add some character to my groups and glue my melodies and drums ! Very helpful :)
This cleared up so so much confusion. Definitely going to try this out. 🙏🏿🙏🏿
At last someone has explained what bus do and how they work.Brilliant Tutorial thanks.
Good job. I’m going to take another look at all my tracks tomorrow and apply effects and output buses. Thanks.
Just found you about a month ago. I love your content. I have a much better understanding of busses now, and why to use them. Thanks.
Thanks for this video.
awesome! Thanks Dude for taking your time explaining how everything works!
at last I understand buses, 10 years after beginning home studio. so many thanks. Merci !!!! 🇫🇷
Thanks for explaining also parallel compression!!
I thought this was explained very well. You earned a new subscriber from this video alone. This is a somewhat complex tracking topic and this video was explained with visual, easy to understand and concise. Thanks man!
I understood all you said. Excellent and really helpful. Thanks man!
This video is going to change my life. Thanks Nathan. Subscribed!
This is a topic I definitely needed to learn. Thank you!
Awesome! 🔥🔥🙏🙏
Love your videos. You explain everything really well. And the last one with the ten tips was FANTASTIC.
Thanks Nathan, that was so simple to understand 💯 keep up
I would love to get even more videos on getting crisp mix. I love Logic the best because of ease of use and capabilities but the quality of the sound doesn't sound near as crisp and BIG as Abeltoni I tried 9 liked a lot about it but didn't like the song composition. But it sounds much bigger and more dynamic. You're by far the best teacher on Logic Pro on the web bro
Yet again video that opend my mind SOOO much, thank you!
He got a little bit complicated but I stuck through and I’m glad excellent work thank you
Such a great explanation! Thanks a lot man
Took a few runs of the video it but I finally realized that you are using the SEND button for the effects and the STEREO OUT button for the "straight line" route to the bus. Thanks again for the channel and your help.
Dude, that is exactly what I needed to know! Send output directly to Bus! Damn! I just couldnt figuer out why it was always getting so muddy!! Im doing that now with all my projects and the before and after is so clear! Thanks (: Subscribed
I've been needing this so bad
Bro you are deadass a GOAT. Knowing that you can chain send buses is probably how mixes sound even better. I been working tf outta my computer but now I know better 😂
Excellent explanation on bussing, I've had a pretty good understanding of bussing,
but now, I really get it!
Thanks for sharing, I'm diggin' your channel
Love it! Thanks for that!
Ahhhhh I was super lost when you got to step 2 but I I understand now, holy crap that’s powerful! I’ve been having issues with my cpu lately when mixing 20+ tracks with 8 of the same plugins running on. This totally makes sense now, thanks for the explanation.
I kind of get it. But how does that effect my 4 vocal tracks, they are seperate anyway?
Fantastic info as I’ve been curious on the uses and advantages of these “BUSES”. Thank yoooooooou!
Very simplified video!
Opened a whole new possibilities for me. Thanks a bunch Nathan.
Awesome love hearing that!
Great explanation, thank you so much.
i feel a pressure lifted, thankyou . x
Thank you for being the savior , finally got to understand the real deal!!!
great video Nathan! im happy i stumbled across your channel!
You seriously have improved my art so much I swear if I make it some day, you were my guide to success
hey Nathan, thanks for this valuable lesson about buses , you Da Man!!!!
Thank you, it’s helpful ❤️
Awesome explanation of bus sends. Great job!
I really appreciate your workflow tips and knowledge. thanks brother
Absolutely! Thanks!
Love how you make it so simple and understanding😎
Thanks a bunch! Always try to explain so as many people can understand as possible
THANK YOU for this video! This was the best presentation and explanation of bussing.
This was very helpful. I’ve been learning so much from this channel. Thank you 🙏🏽
Hey! Very nice video! I certainly learned a couple of things. I'm a freelance video editor who makes a lot of fast-turn-around TV commercials so basically my clients never budget much time or resources for quality audio mixing. I usually just do a rough mix in Adobe Premiere hit the VO with some compression, check to see if it's all CALM ACT compliant and then send it on to stations moments before my deadline expires. Anyway, I'd love to see you make a video regarding side-chaining a compressor between a simple stock music track and a voiceover track. You just have such a great way of explaining things. Thanks again!
Thank you Nathan! Busses are tricky. I've tried to figure it out and have always given up. It's like just one more hoop I have to jump through and I don't find it. lol really appreciate it. Going tro watch it NOW!!!!!!!!
Awesome hope it helped you out!!
Just found you Nathan. Great job by the way! You just taught me the beauty of the bus😊
Thanks for all the content bro. I'm learning so much right here.
this was the most helpful video about busses I've seen, thank you!!!!
When in doubt. Buss it out.
Dude....your videos are awesome! You are an interesting and amaing and practical teacher. Thanks.
Simply love it.. thank you
Wish I could thumbs-up this 10 times. Excellent explanation and examples. Thank you.
Thank you! Great bus-lecture!
Thank you so much! very informative!
This stuff is Gold for a beginner Logic user like myself! Thank you!
Love hearing that!!
A great introduction to buses- thanks, Nathan!!
I was having a hard time understanding buses this def made it easier.
Shameless plug for Nathan's course: I've been a musician for 20+ years and Nathan is an absolutely incredible teacher. His Producer Accelerator course is a must buy for anyone looking to speed up their learning process. ***Note: I'm not making a cut from this shout out, I'm just a very satisfied student.**
Dude! Thank you for this video! Always wanted to know what a bus is and now I know why my sessions were crashing.
