Lesson 9. Working with Mixer Channels
At the heart of any mixer is the channel. It is here that all signals are routed, modified by effects processing, and ultimately brought together to form a mix. In Logic, mixer channels are based directly on Objects in the Logic Environment, each channel dedicated to a specific type of signal: MIDI, audio, or Audio Instruments. These channels are accessed via Logic's integrated Track Mixer, which shows them in an organized display. Each channel offers a set of controls for working with the signal throughput. Among these controls are Inserts for applying effects processing to the signal path, and Sends for feeding a controlled amount of the signal to another mixer channel. In this lesson you will use the Track Mixer to efficiently view and access the mixer channels and apply effects processing into the signal chain. In addition, you will manipulate the order and placement of plug-ins in Logic's mixer by navigating efficiently within the mixer's routing. |
