Step-by-step Adding effects via auxiliary sends

4

Rename

Double-click the newreturn channel’s

name and rename it somethingappropriate,

like ‘Delay’. This name now appears in

the list.

5

Delay of the land

Click on the return channel’s Audio FX

slot and choose a suitable delay plug-in from

the list. We’ve gone for Logic’s stock Stereo

Delay effect. (Delay>Stereo Delay>Stereo).

6

Turn it up

Locate the Send Level knob next to the

Bus slot on the original track. Turn this up

by dragging up vertically on it. A green halo

indicates the position of the control.

1

Import audio

On a new audio track in your Logic

project, import the file ‘Aux Send Vox 1.wav’

from FileSilo. We’re going to add a delay

effect to this vocal via an auxiliary send.

2

Catch the bus

In the channel inspector, click on the text

that reads ‘Sends’. A popup will appear with

one currently selectable item labelled ‘Bus’ –

click on this.

3

By return

A list of available buses will appear.

Choose the first one – Bus 1 – from the menu.

This automatically creates a new return

channel, labelled ‘Aux1’ by default.

7

Effective immediately

Hit Play, and you should hear the delay

working on the vocal and see the meters on

the return track flashing as the effect appears

in the channel.

8

Add more tracks

Time for some harmonies! On another

pair of audio tracks, add the files ‘Aux Send

Vox 2.wav’ and ‘Aux Send Vox 3.wav’ at the

same bar/beat location as the first file.

9

Send away

Repeat the above steps to route these

tracks to the same delay effect via bus 1. We

can now use the sends on each channel to

send each vocal to the same delay plug-in.
