Hi,
Can someone point me to a video tutorial to show me how to set up a headphone mix? where to/how route/send it etc.
I am getting a headphone amp and wish to send a headphone mix to it but I have no idea what to do!
Any help appreciated, I am quite new to all this!
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
Thank you Indyuser, I tried to follow this but couldn't manage it, is it different in Logic Pro X?
is there an easier tutorial?
If you are looking for something simple...
1/ create a aux track in the mixer - set its input to a bus ( I.e bus 7 or whatever you want ) and set the output of that channel strip to your headphone output
2/ on each track add a send routed to bus 7 ( or whatever bus you chose above). the send controls the level going to the aux track which is associated with the headphones.
Make sense ?
I think so! gonna try tomorrow, will endeavour to make it work!
Make sure your sends are pre-fade.
Thank you
Not sure what pre fade means octopi?
how do I do this? is there a pre fade button In Logic?
Click and hold the send on the channel strip, at the top there is a Pre Fade and Post Fade setting.
It's set to post fade by default. Setting it to pre fade will mean that the mix you send to the headphones will not be altered if you move the fader on the track. The signal is sent down the bus before it hits the fader (hence pre fade). That way, if you spend time setting up different headphone mixes for different people, the mixes won't be altered if you want to change the fader levels in the control room or out of your main monitors.
Thank you so much for your time Octopi.
Good to know this.
How do I create an aux track? it doesn't appear as an option in the TRACK menu
aux tracks are created automatically when you put an unused send on a track.
if you want to create the aux manually open the mixer - options-> create new auxiliary channel strip.
Got it! thank you!
