Copy the current channel strip fader volume to the send level
You can copy fader volume from a channel strip directly to a send using the Copy Fader
to Send command. Using this command, you can quickly set the level for a send without
having to first enter Sends on Faders mode and make adjustments.
In Logic Pro, from the Send pop-up menu, choose Copy Fader to Send.
Use aux channel strips
Aux channel strips in Logic Pro
Aux channel strips can be used to create subgroups, to submix, to route a signal to multiple
destinations, and as additional destination channels for multi-output instruments. Typically,
you create aux channel strips as you need them. There are three ways to do this:
An aux channel strip is created automatically when a send assignment is made from
a channel strip, except when the chosen bus is already in use as an input source on
another channel strip.
When a multi-output instrument such as the Sampler is inserted into an instrument
channel strip, several aux channel strip assignments are made “behind the scenes.” You
then must create the required number of aux channel strips by clicking the Add button
(+) at the bottom of the instrument channel strip. Each time you click it, a new aux
channel strip is created (and automatically assigned to particular instrument outputs).
You can also create aux channel strips by choosing Options > Create New Auxiliary
Channel Strip from the Mixer menu bar.
You can delete channel strips as described in the Channel strip types in Logic Pro overview.
Create mix subgroups in Logic Pro
You can group several channel strips and route them via a single bus to a single aux
channel strip. This provides you with one set of controls over the entire group.
For example, say your mix contains multiple drum tracks that you want to manage using
a single set of channel strip controls, or you want to put a compressor across the whole
drum kit. You can do this by sending each of the drum tracks to the same bus, which in
turn sends their signals to the same aux channel strip. You might then route your vocal
tracks to a second aux channel strip, providing a separate group control for these channel
strips. Finally, you have the option to output both subgroups (drums and vocals) to the
same destination or to separate destinations.
