chevron Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Is there a way of routing an audio/instrument track to a bus without an aux track being created? Most of the time I want an aux created, but sometimes I don't. I'm hoping that holding some kind of key combo like command/shift when routing a track to a bus would do it, but alas I haven't found it if it does exist!

ChicoSatis Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hi Unfortunately no. At least not that I know of. Hopefully with the next update they'll give us an option whether to create one or not. Have a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevron Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 That's what I figured, it would make sense if you held control whilst selecting a bus that an aux wouldn't be created. If there is some agreement I'll make a feature suggestion to Apple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jope Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I think the AUX object can be removed afterwards (or connected otherwise) without losing the bus. The buses are always present. But I really find this annoying and confusing, too. Logic and its manual is made a way that blurs the difference between buses and AUX objects. These two things have exactly nothing to do with each other, although they are usually used together. I would prefer Buses (which are just virtual wires) that can be named if one desires so and AUX objects that can be tied to buses if one desires so. Many questions here result from the behaviour described above and terms like "aux send" in the manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatisvalis Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I would prefer Buses (which are just virtual wires) that can be named if one desires so and AUX objects that can be tied to buses if one desires so. i haven't tried this yet, but your comment about naming buses made me think about something David wrote over in the Tips section Name buss: Audio > Audio Configuration window, by going to View > i/o labels: Not sure if that is a permanent label, but would be cool when creating a template Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The names don't show up in the send slots though unless you open the popup selection menu. But the confusion and inconvenience remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevron Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Agreement?!?! Hell man, it's a crusade. Please do add your voice to get this as a checked option in preferences. For me I would prefer a key held to temporarily stop an aux being created and a preference to stop it all together... Would do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred B Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Maybe the following behavior would be useful? Creation of an aux only if the bus is NOT already assigned to a destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jope Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 If we decide to get bogged in details... How about a little "+" switch beside the slot for the creation of an AUX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevron Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Yeah I thought about that as well, you could select a bus as an input to a track and any routing to that bus wouldn't create an aux. Anyone else?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred B Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 ... select a bus as an input to a track and any routing to that bus wouldn't create an aux ... Yes, I think the current implementation is simply not consistent. Note that if you have selected a bus as input of an aux, any routing to that bus does NOT create an additional aux. The same should apply if you have selected a bus as input of a track. So, assuming this would be implemented consistently I wonder if there is still need for specific preferences/buttons?

Yep that's the one if you have a bus selected as an input then no aux will be created, I also think a button combo to prevent creation of an aux would be useful as well.... No need for a preference though if this was implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 FWIW, reading this thread from the sidelines (since I'm still primarily using Logic 7) it seems ridiculous for the system to automatically create auxes just because you use a bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hey ski, which of the guys on the photgraph is you BTW? None of them! But as local legend has it, the woman holding the piccolo in the left edge of the photo used to own my house back in the days of prohibition in the US. And according to the same legend, the room my studio is in was constructed from a dance hall which she used to have on the property. Funny how my affinity for woodwinds has grown logarithmically since I moved here (it's true!) LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonkuzma Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hi..Funny thread...I don't mind the aux being created in 8..In fact it makes the most sense to me..But if you want to lose them after they are created...I know not as easy as a key command..I'm with you there..But just select no input for the aux and click delete..I was wondering why in the previous version there was a bus created,when the Aux.s are much more powerful..I'm glad actually to not have to be plagued by seeing the bus anymore...Why not petition Apple to make the Arpegiator a plugin rather than the archaic and cumbersome item it is at present??

chevron Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 I don't mind auxes being created automatically so much either, just when I intend to bus from one track to another tracks input and I have to delete the aux that's been created it's gets a bit painful...

David Nahmani Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Yeah it's a feature that's really great 95% of the time, and annoying 5% of the time. A switch (for example in the Toolbar) might be a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
