Have you ever wished you could:
- Bypass an entire effect chain in Logic?
- Copy and paste all the plugins from one Channel Strip to another?
- How about copy and paste Send and Bus Assignments?
Or what if you could compare 2 completely different effect chains back-to-back?
With Logic’s Channel Strip Settings, you definitely can.
At the top of every Channel Strip in the Mixer lies a menu I suspect many of us overlook. The Channel Strip Setting menu houses some super handy ways to juggle complex effect and routing chains.
Options like “Bypass all Effect Plug-ins” and “Paste Sends Only” are hiding there, waiting for you to notice them! And some of the most helpful Mixer functions have no key commands assigned to them.
While it takes a tiny bit of effort to create and commit to some key commands, the time is well worth it.
By stringing together a couple of keys, you can maximize your workflow in Logic’s Mixer. Plus – you’ll then be able to A/B entire effect chains back-to-back. All with the press of some buttons.
In today’s video let’s bust open a massive workflow enhancer hiding in the Mixer.
Chris,
I follow your videos and they are great.
Perhaps you have covered this, but I haven’t seen it and couldn’t find a method to solve my conundrum:
I wanted to end a song with a clock sound speeding up. Found the ticking clock in a Logic loop and could not find a way to speed it up while in the project.
My solution: record it in separate empty project, set up global tempo track for speeding up, bounce out as wav file and import into my project with own BPM.
Hope you do a video on how to make this more efficient/easier
Thanks,
Joe
Hey Joe, thanks for your comment! By any chance did you try speeding up the Apple Loop with Flex Time set to the Speed Mode? That may get you what you want in the future.
I should have added the clock was speeding up from 62 BPM to 124 BPM
hello, thank you for your channel. in 10.4.8 logic i can’t seem to find the channelstrip setting that allows me to turn effects on and off?
Hi Chris,
Is it possible to copy one set of plugins of one project to an other project with thee same commands?
