n00b question about sub mixes

Post by kurumetulz »

Hi guys im hoping someone can help me

basically i have ten channels of drums from a live recording, im looking to route them all to a sub drum buss before they then go to the master outs what is the correct way of doing this please? is it using bundles? ive been going round in circles for a while trying to figure this out watching youtube vides and reading and rereading the manual but cant seem to figure this out!

many thanks for any help

1. Create an Aux Track while in the Track Overview window.

2. Click on the Input field for the Aux Track, and set the input to a Bus. If there are none in the menu that comes up, select the option to New Mono or Now Stereo Bundle at the bottom of the menu (depending on whether your drum tracks are mono or stereo).

As an alternative you can go to the Bundles window first and set some Busses up, and then they will appear in the list of options in the Input menu.

3. Click on the Output field for the Aux Track and set it wherever you want that to be.

4. Now go to the Output field for each of the drum tracks and set these to the Bus you used as input to the Aux Track. You can set all of the drum track outputs at once by selecting them and using the Audio Assignments window (Alt-A)
