Output to a Buss or send to a buss
probably a pretty elementary question- when would it be more advatageous to keep the tracks output to analog1/2 and take a send to a buss, rather than just sending the output to a buss?
or would take a send while keeping the 1/2 out be akin to duplicating a track and using one "dry" and treating the other? sometimes I think I make more work for myself.... and a pleasant Good Friday to you all!

Re: Output to a Buss or send to a buss
There should be more knowleageable responses to this than mine.
But, for me, I use Sends to bus delays and reverbs. Output to a bus/Aux track in order to group multiple tracks (like drums). Output all your drum tracks to one Aux track labelled "Drums". Then you have one channel/fader for drums..... then use a Send to reverb/delay. |

Re: Output to a Buss or send to a buss
I will almost always leave the drums assigned to L/R and add aux sends to feed a stereo bus with a compressor(choose wisely to avoid latency induced comb filtering). Both BF76 and the Waves SSL compressor work great for this.

Hmmm... I'm a bit drowsy right now but I want to make sure I understand... You are creating a stereo (or two mono) AUX channels and sending the drum signal to them, then compressing it? then blending the two at the master? I'll do this for delay, reverb, etc... but have never thought to use the same technique for compression. What is the benefit of going this route? (I'll be trying this out right after a nap). MANY thanks! Peace!

To return to the original post. One way to look at it is to use sends when you want to vary the amount of 'processing' undertaken on the audio by adjusting the sends level. Bussing track outputs is more appropriate when you're applying processing uniformly and globally. http://www.myspace.com/philogg |
