Logic automatically creates new aux tracks.

Hi

I have a problem..

Logic Pro X creates two new aux tracks every time I create a new audio track. One called "Ambience/0.2s Long Ambience" and one called "Small Hall/1.6s Short Vocal Hall". I know, it's reverb presets, but how do I tell Logic to stop making them? Anyone?

Hugs and kisses

That would happen when choosing patches in the Library, not when creating audio tracks.

To prevent this from happening, disable the "Sends" button by going into the Enable Patch Merging option in the Library (bottom left corner, gear icon). This way when trying patches from the Library, they won't be loaded with any sends and their associated aux channels with effects.

If "Open Library" is selected in the New Tracks dialog then creating a new audio track also chooses a patch for that track in the Library, which means new Aux tracks are created in the Mixer if they're not already present.

To avoid that behavior, choose Track > New Track..., choose "Audio" and deselect "Open Library".

I get that behavior when choosing "Guitar or Bass" in the New Tracks dialog, not with the "Audio" (track) one.

1) Create new empty project. In the new track dialog, choose audio and deselect Open Library:

-> An audio track is created.

2) Open the Mixer.

3) Create a new audio track, selecting Open Library:

-> A new audio track is created along with two new Aux channel strips in the Mixer.

Nope, not here. I must have hacked something and can't remember.

But anyway, I'm sure that must be it (the OP's problem) because that's what also happens when leaving Open Library checked when creating software instrument tracks.

Maybe you defined an audio channel strip without any sends as a default in the Library. The factory default audio channel strip patch has two sends already inserted.

That must be it.

Look inside your user Patches, do you have an empty audio track patch there?

Thanks Eric, but it was a bit more involved than that. Turns out I modified the Audio Track patch that's inside the Logic app itself:

Logic Pro X/Contents/Resources/Default Patches/

Completely forgot about that one!

You're such a hacker Jordi.

Will a change within the application bundle survive when you update to a new subversion?

Yeah, changes inside the app get overwritten when updating.
