mic1one asked:
This is part 2 of my Pro Tools for beginners series. In this tutorial I go through the following topics by exploring a composition of my own. 1) Auxillary Channels and Bussing for effects usage. 2) Recording to Audio Tracks for mix versions and manual fade out techniques. Thanks! -M1

make sure you note that if you place reverb or effects on an aux, yes, you DO want 100% wet mix on that aux channel. You then control the amount of dry signal from the original signal in the amount it is “sent out” to the aux.. If you do not place 100% wet on the aux, then likely you will have some phasing problems, especially with non PTHD systems.

Using an aux is good for the reason mention in this video and it will help avoid extreme latency problems. Aside from that, you do not want your signal to be 100% wet. You need a dry and wet signal. Using an aux will make your mix sound much better. Less muddy, more defined, latency won’t be too much of an issue (there are many ways to work around latency) and less cpu usage.

haha! I’ve been messin’ with PT for 5 years, and never used a single aux track… But i built a new computer every year an always put my file on an external HD to say Pross Speed so putting a ton of the same plugins never wrecked me…but I now know a better way… gracious!

I think riskycbk: From what I know EQ,COMP, DESSER chain must be used as an INSERT so the whole signal will go trough it . Reverb,delay you may use as SEND on AUX tracks…This may be the reason why it sounds different to you…

This is one of the most important things for a beginner:) I remember when I’ve been doing the same mistakes until I’ve found that SEND channel in Cubase SX…No one told me about it before so that kind of tutorials are very helpful indeed!

Hello mic1one,
I just have a quick question, when i try to bus multiple plug ins like EQ, COMP, Desser, and Reverb on one AUX mono track, it does not seem work the same versus adding each plug in on each track. Any suggestion? I would really appreciated.

I think QUESTION: I need to create separate headphone mixes for a tracking session, so that every individual headphone output has its own mix eg. one guy may want more bass, another guy might want more guitar, so what I did was set up sends to those output channels but I couldn’t get any signal
What would be the best way to go about creating separate headphone mixes inside pro tools? and is this even a feasible way because of latency issues that could occur?

yea but if your sending more than one track to the same channel with a certain reverb and delay, doesnt that mean that im forced to have those tracks with the exact same reverb and delay?? what if i want them all to have reverb, but not the same kind of reverb.

yeah you can make busses for cymbals, back up vocals, overdubs its very handy.
