Note: There are some similarities between using aux channel strips as subgroups and
working with Mixer groups. You can control the group/subgroup properties from one set
of channel strip controls. However, Mixer groups are used to control channel strip group
properties, and not the signal flow.
Create a subgroup using an aux channel strip
1. In Logic Pro, select multiple channel strips by doing one of the following:
Shift-click the channel strips you want to group.
Drag over the background of the channel strips (drag horizontally across multiple
channel strips over the word Inserts, or I/O text, for example).
2. Click-hold the Output slot of a selected channel strip, then choose a bus from the pop-
up menu.
The Output slots of all selected channel strips reflect the chosen bus. A new aux
channel strip is created, except when the chosen bus is already in use as an input
source on another channel strip. Its Input slot contains the channel strip signal flow
coming via the chosen bus.
3. Click-hold the Output slot of the aux channel strip, then choose the output destination
for the main mix.
4. Use the aux channel strip controls to process the submix—adding inserts, setting
volume and pan, and so on.
Send signals to multiple destinations in Logic Pro
You can route a signal to several output destinations, using aux channel strips.
For example, you might have a main signal with the output destination set to external
speakers. At the same time, you want to hear the signal as a separate headphone mix,
including some additional effects. To do this, you would set up two separate output
destinations for your signal, with the aux channel strips controlling the headphone mix,
including the additional effects.
Output a single channel strip to two destinations
1. In Logic Pro, click-hold the channel strip’s Output slot, then choose the main output
destination for the mix, such as speakers.
2. Click-hold the channel strip’s Send slot, then choose the bus to send the separate
signal to.
An aux channel strip is created automatically. Your chosen bus is reflected in the aux
channel strip’s Input slot.
3. Click-hold the aux channel strip’s Output slot, then choose the second output
destination for the mix, such as headphones.
Your signal flow is now routed to two separate output destinations. The main signal flow
to the speakers is heard in its “dry” state. The second signal flow—via a bus to the aux
channel strip, and output to headphones—can be modified and heard in its “wet” state.
