frostym8 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Hi there, I’ve encointered a problem when using sends with reverbs and delays. In my mixing template, I have tracks set up that way through input monitoring: Shaker -> Light Percussion -> Percussion Stem Once I’ve added some ping pong delay to the shaker, I’m recording it in real time using input monitoring for light percussion - when the delay send from an aux track is applied to the shaker, by some reason it will not record that to light percussion group. Is there any way to fix this or go around it? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Anything you put on an insert slot is always on the monitoring path. It will never get "printed" when you record. If you want the "printed" audio file, then solo the track, press play to check you're hearing exactly what you want, then press Command-B to bounce the desired section.

frostym8 Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 Ah that’s a lot clearer now, a workaround that works, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostym8 Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 I just had one thought, so if I have about 50 instruments that have reverb sends applied to them, these won’t be recorded through input monitoring to their corresponding groups? Do I have to bounce in place each of those tracks to have those reverbs applied before I record these instruments to their corresponding groups through input monitoring?

polanoid Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 One question, out of interest: What do mean by "record through input monitoring"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Do I have to bounce in place each of those tracks to have those reverbs applied before I record these instruments to their corresponding groups through input monitoring? Huh? If you bounced in place, why do you need to record them again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh? If you bounced in place, why do you need to record them again? For the sake of organisation. I mean, if I have short low strings, and long high strings, they need different kinds of reverbs. If there are about 50 tracks that need those reverbs through sends, it will be super messy once these tracks are bounced into individual tracks and keeping multiple copies of the same track is not an option for me. It can also create the problem that if I realise that there’s too much reverb, I cannot go back since the track is already printed with the reverb amount. I usally process groups furtherly so it provides more glue and I’m able to make it cut through anything else if necessary using parallel saturation or parallel compression but only after I’m happy with the process of individual tracks - that’s why it’s so important for me to have them processed individually so I know for sure that there won’t be any issues when I’m ready to process summed groups.

triplets Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 If it's a bunch of instruments, I would send for example the output of all strings and their reverbs to a string Aux track and then I can control it all with one fader. I don't know what you have in your template, but I would try to make the volume leveling as simple as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostym8 Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 Thank you guys, it worked! Now any sort of processing applied through sends on individual tracks using input monitoring is audible not only during playback, but the sends are even printed to groups! Right now my signal chain looks like this: Oboe -> Woodwinds (Send) -> Reverb (output of the reverb is woodwinds group) -> Woodwinds -> Mix OP So I basically need to create a reverb for each group and have it’s output routed for that instrument group. What about if I want to apply parallel saturation and parallel compression? I won’t have enough busses to individually create each aux buss for parallel comp and parallel sat, is there a way to use just one of each in this case?

If by parallel compression you refer to this technique: https://musicproductionnerds.com/parallel-compression-explained , you won't need any busses for that because Logic's compressors all have dry/wet controls.
