Check out pp. 103, 109 on track envelopes and track effects and pp. 131, 138 on using busses and assignable FX. All you ever wanted to know about them is there. HTH, Iacobus
Subject:RE: FX and buses... Reply by: dlogix Date:12/12/2001 4:07:52 PM It is quite simple really. What did you want to know? Just click on the bus icon. Add the bus then assign the track to it. Mostly point and click. Mainly used to separate a track from the Master. For example, you have a drum loop and you want to add compression, track EQ, and reverb,etc. to it, but you also may want to use those settings for another drum loop, or you want to keep the drum loop dry, and assign FX to it and/or other loops. Deeper still, bus for drums, bus for guitar, bus for vocals, bus for keys, etc. Then they all go to master where you put on the final FX for the final mix. This way you have more of a granular control over each track and the final mix. Hope that helps. These are some basic concepts that should be widely available in sound engineering manuals, etc on the net.
