After you create a summing stack, you can route individual subtracks to different
destinations. In the Bus submenu of the Send pop-up menu on subtracks, local busses are
sorted into stack submenus. Note that if you route subtracks to a destination “outside” of
the stack, those subtracks are no longer affected by the controls on the main track. Audio
subgroups you create are saved as part of the summing stack, and their auxes appear as
the last (bottom) subtracks in the summing stack.
When a Track Stack contains a single software instrument subtrack, that subtrack appears
in the left inspector channel strip, and its routing destination (usually the main track aux)
appears in the right inspector channel strip when the main track is selected. Similarly, when
a Track Stack contains a single audio subtrack (and no software instrument subtracks),
that subtrack appears in the left inspector channel strip, and its routing destination (usually
the main track aux) appears in the right inspector channel strip when the main track is
selected.
Create and edit Track Stacks in Logic Pro
When Show Advanced Tools is selected in the Advanced preferences pane, you can
create and edit Track Stacks. If Show Advanced Tools is unselected, existing Track Stacks
in a project will play back, but you can’t create new ones or edit existing ones.
You create a Track Stack by selecting (adjacent or nonadjacent) tracks in the Tracks area.
Nonadjacent tracks move so that all tracks are grouped together in the Track Stack. Both
types of Track Stacks can contain any combination of track types as subtracks. A folder
stack can also include summing stacks as subtracks.
You can hide the subtracks of a Track Stack to save space in the Tracks area, or show them
in order to record or edit. You can add or remove tracks from a Track Stack, and reorder
tracks in a Track Stack (reordering tracks doesn’t affect the sound).
After creating the summing stack, you can route individual subtracks to a different
destination. If you do so, however, the rerouted subtracks are no longer controlled by the
main track’s channel strip.
Create a Track Stack
1. In Logic Pro, select the tracks you want to include in the Track Stack. The selected

Control-click the header of one of the selected tracks, then choose Create Track
Stack from the shortcut menu.
3. In the Track Stack dialog, do one of the following:
