So I desire to take 10 drum tracks and have them grouped together for the audio. I know this can be accomplished by sending them to a Aux or changing the output's to an aux. Problem is you don't seem to be able to automate the volume on an Aux track. I looked into Groups; they don't really do much. I tried to take the 10 tracks output and change it to a Bus, then made a new track and made the input that bus, but that didn't work. Is their a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do, or is this just some huge flaw in the ability of Logic?

As easy to use as midi is, it is a curse. Mixing down to audio midi tracks an equalizing them is way more important to a song then just about anything. Midi should be used for post production only, and since most of us mix our own tracks, getting out of midi into audio; the faster the better.

I used to use Cubase, and I've used Protools too. Both suck compared to Logic. Logic has more built in tools that don't suck. Say that for Cubase (all the built in tools suck!!!!) Logic even includes a high quality sampler, drum machine, actual synths that don't sound like trash. Protools if for audio, not focused on midi. Go back to Cubase for the 1 feature leaving behind the myriad of features Logic has over Cubase; including a easier to use interface, many additional tools included (cubase makes you pay for them, but u steal them anyway so who cares right). What is funny is almost every softsynth or hardware synth has an arp on it. Jump of a bridge or something. People like you hold up development of issues people actually care about. Majority rules.

When you have lots of tracks going, I found that Native Instruments suck resources like a pig. Massive was causing that message on my new mac book pro with under 20 tracks. Once I recorded massive to disk and disabled the track, it was fine.

You who's fault it is. The software manufactures fault. Crap I'd happily pay money for my M-AUDIO keystation 88 to be programmed to all softsynths. I don't care if the softsynth company offers it, of the sequencer company offers it, or the control company offers it. I want to make music, not code controllers! Why doesn't MAC make a controller that isn't retarded and interfaces with logic? I hate how all the controllers are programmed with midi CC #'s all over the place, with no logical sequence. You know what they need, just get a little touchscreen monitor to drag the stupid Softsynth or Mixer over on. Problem solved. Controllers are so annoying I don't even use mine (Rarely) besides the stupid keyboard. Even though I have the keystation 88; which has a shitload of knobs and sliders!!!!!

Sounds pretty funky man. Why not try on a different player, like VLC plays everything

Doesn't work in Logic 9.0.0 in OSX 10.6.5 unforunately. But little hacks rarely work for the newest stuff, unless someone is on it. I bet the coder could make the changes in a couple minutes though if he had logic 9.
