[. . . ] 6 Now insert a different plug-in into the third Insert slot of the audio channel. You will notice that a new Plug-in window is automatically spawned for the newly selected plug-in. These two Plug-in window behaviors may be useful for different tasks, when assigning effects and mixing in Logic. The Bypass button is used to bypass the effect. This is useful for allowing comparisons of an audio signal with, and without, the effect. Bypassing an effect is achieved by simply clicking on the Bypass button when in the Plug-in window. If you wish to bypass an effect when no Plug-in window is opened, press Option and click on the desired channel's Insert slot(s). Channel or Bus Effect? Certain effects are often inserted into Buses rather than individual channels, allowing multiple tracks to make use of a single effect "unit" thus saving CPU power. As the Send , Level knobs on each audio channel can be used to control the amount of signal sent to the Busses, the amount of effect applied to each channel's signal can be varied. To send audio from an Audio track to a Bus: 1 Click-hold on any of the Send slots of an Audio channel, and a menu will open, displaying all available Busses. The Send slot turns blue, with the name of the selected Bus displayed. A small knob appears to the right of the Send slot. It determines the amount of signal which is sent from the Audio channel to the Bus channel. 76 Chapter 7 Mixer, Instruments, and Effects 3 To adjust the amount of send level, click-hold on the knob and drag your mouse to the right. You may also press Option and click on the knob which will automatically set it to a value of 0. 0 dB. Insertion of an effect on a Bus channel works in the same way as inserting an effect in one of the other audio channel types. Dynamics processing and equalization is generally applied on a per-channel basis. Other effect types, such as reverbs or modulation processes--chorus, flanging, and others--can be used in either the Bus or channel Insert slots, but are generally used on Busses. Delays are commonly used on Busses--except when special settings are required for a single channel. Filter effects are usually channel-based. Automated Mixing Logic's Mixer can be fully automated. This automation allows a full "flying-fader" mixdown of all audio channels, output faders, busses, software instruments, and effects. Note: Everything that you'll learn in this section (on an individual channel basis) also applies to the channel strip you can see on the left-hand side of the Arrange window. Here's a quick guide to using Logic's automation system: 1 Open the Track Mixer and the Arrange window. Resize both windows if necessary, so that you can see the Track List and a few of the channel strips in the Track Mixer. Although you can make use of the Arrange channel strip in isolation, having the Track Mixer open will allow you to see multiple channels--so keep an eye on both, and watch what happens when one or the other is changed. [. . . ] The term Transport bar refers to both the Transport window and Transport field. transpositon Transposition is changing the pitch of a Audio or MIDI Region or event by a number of semitones. Undo function Function which reverses the previous editing operation. velocity Force at which a MIDI note is struck; controlled by the second data byte of a note event. [. . . ]
