ronny Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hi i thought i had the busses and aux sussed out but?? I have 2 old kit recordings tracks, a left and right panned, i wanted to sum them to a single track to get a tempo map off it. I thought i could just output them (not through the sends ) to a bus / Aux, insert a gate on the Aux channel and gate it tightly to just kick and snare then record that auxs out to another audio track to lift the tempo off that single track. i know there's different ways of doing this but wanted to try this way. Alls well until i create an audio track to record to and try and try to assign its input to the Aux1 which I've named KIT AUX' but when i press that tracks input box and go to the busses all i get is 'BUS 1 (Left arrow) Kit Left - Kit right' and not Bus 1 - KIT AUX. So when i record the track there's no processing on it. probably simple but ? Thanks anyone. Ronny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulcristo Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 The outputs of your two drum tracks are set to BUS 1. So, when you create a new AUX and set the input to BUS 1 there is no sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronny Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hi thanks Yeh the two tracks outputs are set to BUS 1 and named KIT AUX' which is set to 'stereo out' so i hear it, and getting an output just not getting the choice of that bus to feed the record track.

Set the output of the AUX track you created BUS 3-4 and then set the input to your record track to BUS 3-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronny Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hi thanks that has worked I'm getting processing now but only had the choice of 3 or 4 and not 3-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulcristo Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hi thanks that has worked I'm getting processing now but only had the choice of 3 or 4 and not 3-4. That's probably because the other tracks are mono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronny Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Thanks for your help I just setup a dummy project of 4 audio tracks, all stereo, tracks 1-2 with loops on them / output tracks 1 and 2 to bus 1 stereo, (AUX 1 with chorus inserted) can still only get 3 or 4 choice, and not 3-4 Also if i solo the audio tracks 1and 2 shouldn't they be dry as I'm getting the processing from AUX 1. I always thought the solo was listening to the track contents and not where its outputted to. Getting very confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronny Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Are sorry yes that would only be if i was using sends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulcristo Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 You might need to solo exempt your AUX by Control-clicking the solo button on the AUX. Even though you've soloed the track, it will still follow the signal routing and if there's an element not soloed along the signal path, you won't hear anything.
