John Morton Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Using Logic Pro X for around 18 months and OK with bussing etc. but what is the value of routing the St Out button to an aux, bearing in mind we can already have a number of busses on each strip anyway and they can also be set pre and post fader? Thanks, John Morton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakobP Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 While setting the output ("St Out button") of the channel strip to the bus, you keep the signal serial. OTOH, when using sends, you initiate parallel signal routes, i.e. the signal is split up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morton Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Gotcha, thanks. I'd used the St Out route for side-chaining - rarely necessary with my kind of work which is chiefly orchestral - but I wondered if there were any other reasons I didn't know about. Thanks again, JM.

David Nahmani Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 There can be many, many reasons. Here's one other example. If I'm sub mixing tracks (for example all the individual drums, or all the individual backup vocals) then I'll set their outputs to a bus. Then if I want to process the individual tracks with reverbs I'll send them to a reverb bus. Like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morton Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Many thanks. I think I'm getting there now, JM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
