In this video, I demonstrate the following: 1. How to create and use Folder Stacks. 2. How to create and use Summing Stacks. 3. How to use Summing Stacks for bus processing. 4. How to use Summing Stacks to layer software instruments. 5. How to flatten track stacks.

Thank you ! Unlike other YT tutorials , your instructions are more clearly and straight forward !

LOVE the software layering part at the end. Mind blown

I'm loving this whole series. So much information! Some stuff I knew, some stuff I didn't -- and some stuff I *thought* I knew. Thanks for sharing !

Great explanation of folders and stacks. Now I see them as an alternative to VCAs and Busses.

Super useful, wow what a series!

Perfect explanation, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for taking the time to produce these amazing tutorials :)

Love the idea of exploring the track stacks with different software instruments! Instant synth? Never knew about this so thank you for a brilliant piece of tuition.

I need this video - never got track stacks together - thank you 👍🙂

Great series so far, helps recap what my leaky memory has lost, and quite a bit of new stuff, cheers Music TechHelpGuy 🎵

Excellent Video! Thanks.

Great video as always! Thank you 🙏

I like your style. Really good teaching. Thanx.

You’re the best, always. Thanks for the help!!

This was the exact information I was searching for. Thanks heaps for the video!

You're helping and inspiring many people.. keep up the good work.. love from India ❤

Thank you so much for this video which provides me with a lot of new knowledge … #30 already waits for me. 👍🏻

Post/pre pan/fader a bit confusing sometimes (I never worked with physical mixer) but together with track stacking it opens a whole new world of possibilities.

Thank you. Clear Explanation.

Excellent. Thanks.

thanks, good video.

very useful

thankyou sir

You rock!

Great tip re recording midi on a summed track!

Thank you. A summing stack is good to use rather than just routing tracks to a normal bus

Hey Josh, just wondering where you got those super nice pads + arp at the end of the video. Thank you.

What if you have different types of bass (acoustic, synth etc) that come in at different times but you want them side chained to the low end percussion? How would you group process this to avoid individually side chaining all the instruments? Just do a group bass summing track and separate the low end from the drum stack into a separate stack or..?

Thanks for all the great videos. They are awesome and a great help. This doesn't seem to work when using midi. I'm using Drum Machine Designer and I'm trying to apply gated reverb to the toms. If I send the toms to a Track Stack so I can apply gated reverb to all 3 toms at the same time they don't make any sound. As if the midi doesn't make it to the Drum Designer. Also the plugins in Logic don't allow multiple tracks to be side chained by 1 gate (All 3 Toms). I know Studio One does. The only way I can apply gated reverb to the toms is to create an aux track for each tom. Which seems wasteful. Am I missed a something? Maybe you could do a video on 80's gated reverb using Drum Designer

What's the difference in doing the summing to just sending all your audio to a separate bus to compress?

👍

Great Day to You Mr.MTHG!!! I was wondering if you've experienced in or out of track stacks, hitting solo on a track, but hearing more audio tracks than the one soloed?

If you send the various kick drums (there are 3 in the boucne down) to a bus to compress. Do you then need to change the output of those drum tracks to stereo or to the bus? I followed the method you have outlined but it just seems to make everything louder because there is an output signal on the bus and the drum tracks. Does that make sense? I am confused.

Are you able to add automation to summing stacks? I see how to add automation, but whenever i click to add a little line with points, nothing happens.

how can i add an extra track in an already made track stack?

I knew you were dropping a video today. But I REALLY hoped it would be on automation.

When I send my single hits to a bus reverb it works fine, but then when I want to filter the drum bus down as a whole the reverb still plays, how can I stop this? thanks.

Does anyone have been able to create a track stack inside another track stack?

😀😘❤

where is #28?

You da man!!!!!
