This video is absolutely THE BEST video on KZfaq explaining all the different types of routing in Logic Pro X. Apple should hire this guy.

Ah! In Logic Pro X, a folder track is a VCA, and a Summing Stack is a buss. That clicked my bulb. Thank you!

One other feature of VCAs is when muted will silence all sends going to other buses that are not under the control of whatever the assigned bus is. I use three VCAs for muting Vocals, Music, Beat, and if they are sharing FX sends such as Reverb or Delay, just muting the bus you will still hear the FX sends, whereas muting a VCA will totally silence everything assigned to the VCA.

@tobiaskagstrom 5 жыл бұрын

Exactly! And if you solo a BUS (let's say the BUS sums 8 drum tracks) you can't hear the individual sends (say you send just the snare to a plate reverb for example). The sound with the BUS soloed will be bone dry (well, if you've put reverbs as inserts on a ch it will be heard). BUT if the drum tracks are in the same VCA group and you solo that VCA you get to hear all individual sends. AND this is where I think Logic's "in between" solution is both genius and confusing is that if you create a track stack (summing stack!) it passes audio as a BUS...AND...the solo funkction will act like if it was a VCA... got me?

Your videos are absolutely the best in terms of clarity and I always use them as my first (and often) only port of call when I want to learn a new feature in Logic Pro. I always recommend them to my high school students too, and invariably they agree with me. Many thanks for the excellent service you provide!!

This video answered a few questions I've had about controlling volumes of groups of tracks easily, without summing them. I've been trying to set that up easily so that I can quickly bring a single mix element/track a few dB above the rest of the mix to hear it in context, but a little more clearly, for adjustment. Now that'll be extremely quick and simple to toggle! Thanks for all your videos - they've helped me get to the music faster.

Superb!! Thanks so much for this. One other thing that is handy with VCA’s is using them to control the overall mix volume for tracks that have volume automation. So much better than editing the automation parameters.
