Logic fx send

Hi all

I'm having some trouble sending a group of tracks to a bus with fx units on it in logic. I want to send the group to the bus to use an fx unit on all of the tracks together, but when I do it I get the "wet" sound from the bus with the fx on it, plus the "dry" sound from the original tracks. How can I set it up to play only the audio from the bus whilst it is sent there, rather than both the bus and the original tracks?

If I automate the volume of the original tracks, this affects the send level to the bus, and I can't see any option to automate the output of the original tracks (to do what you do when you send a side chain signal to a bus - i.e. turn the output off).

Hope this makes sense - I am tearing my hair out as this should be really easy!

Any help is appreciated (I'm Logic 7 if that makes a diff)

Yeah this should be easy. I opened up one of my projects, created a bus and it killed the audio from the tracks it was receiving audio from.

Any chance you could do a print screen of the mixer so we could have a look ?

Use the Grab Utility. Open it up and set it to Selection. Then you can drag a box around the mixer and it'll create a pic from the selection. Then upload it to Image Shack.

Not totally familiar with logic 7 (as a pro 8 user) but it seems you just need to use pre fader send, that way if you kill the fader on the original channel, the bus still gets the signal and therefore you'll still hear the wet output from the bus.

That's because you're using sends instead of outputs.

You can send the signal so it clones itself to a bus, or you can output the signal to a bus directly. Select a bus as the output of your track and not output 1-2 or whatever. Once you do this, logic will create an aux track that gets fed by your bus. You can put your fx on there, and even automate them if you create an arrange track for your aux track that's in the mixer.
