So I got my 8 today. It's Great. I'm very happy with it. I do have a question for the more understanding folk.
Here it goes.......
I went to try the new bus/aux feature. Opened up a bus channel and inserted a reverb. Went over to the snare channel opened a bus and turned it up. It sounded like crap and I couldn't figure out why. The reverb was there but the snare also got loud and thin. I then MUTED the aux channel and found that when I turned the bus ( in the snare channel )up and down it was getting loud and thin still, but no reverb of course. As I filtered through all the channels in the mixer I found the actual bus that is linked to the aux was routed to the stereo output(1 + 2). So, what i was getting was snare + reverb + the snare again through the bus. Now when I change that bus to no-outputs the snare and verb sound great.
Is this normal procedure or a bug. I don't understand why the routing would be so. If Logic runs through a bus ,then to the aux why would it let the signal through the bus?
Can anyone explain why Logic sets this up in a fashion that whenever I open a bus I need to remember to go and turn of the outputs or it will double up on the direct signal.
Or am I just an idiot
