Chapter 6 Logic’s Mixing Facilities 303
The Bus Object features the following elements (see “Elements of the Audio Object” on
page 270): Inserts, Grouping, Automation, Pan, Level, and Level meter, Mute, Stereo/
Mono.
Auxiliary Object
The native Aux Object can be either mono or stereo. Aux input sources will appear as
either stereo pairs, or single mono channels, dependent on the mono/stereo status of
the Aux channel. It is possible to use the same input source for several Aux channels.
Aux channels process audio signals non-destructively, in real time. Two Aux channels
are pre-configured in a new song, by default. As with all other Audio Objects,
additional Aux Objects can be created, and accessed, via the Audio layer of the
Environment. Aux Objects are automatically made available as needed, in the Cha pull-
down menu of the Object parameter box. When four Aux Objects are in use, a fifth is
offered in the pull-down menu, when using six Auxes, a seventh is added and so on.
This makes it possible to create up to 64 Aux channels in the Environment.
The input source of an Aux channel is selected with the input assignment pop-up
menu. Possible input sources are: Bus channels, Input Objects (dependent on the
available physical inputs of the audio card in use) and all software instrument outputs
provided by Instrument plug-ins (Logic or AU). These additional outputs are only
available to plug-ins inserted into an instrument channel via the “Multi Channel” sub
menu. Aux channel Input sources—sent from suitable Instrument plug-ins—start from
output 3.
Aux channels can also be displayed in the Track Mixer. Note: If the Aux channels are
used as tracks in the Arrange window, ensure that the view filter of the Track Mixer is
set to show Aux channels by activating the Aux button (track view). Activate the Aux
and Global button (global view) if the Aux Objects are only used as Environment
Objects (in other words, they’re not used as Arrange window tracks).
