Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Hi - I am sending a bass track to the compressor via a bus. I was
wondering if I should have the send from that channel at the maximum
going to the compressor or not?

Thanks

Hmmm let me see if I understand this correctly.
you are sending a bass track to a buss using aux sends.
its better to send the whole track to the buss. Meaning, change the  
output of your bass track to buss 1 or buss 2 wherever your  
compressor is, instead of sending it as an aux.
Sending the bass as an aux can mess with your mix because it will  
double your signal one will be the compressed bass and the other will  
be the uncompressed bass.
Hope this clarifies somewhat, that is if I got the question right.
Good Luck

thanks.

I just started with logic express a few weeks ago. I
got a copy of the book "Logic Pro 7 and Logic Express
7"
by Martin Sitter. It was really excellent. It comes
with a DVD with all of the files and walks you through
a project step by step, so you get a pretty good idea
of how to start the recording process and a lot of the
functions in the program. I got it off Amazon.

You need to post specific questions. And try not to post things that 
are easily found in the manual.

Forums are free and open- usually this is a great place to get help, 
but you are never guaranteed help.

This DVD really helped me get into Logic:

It's $99 bucks- I can get you a copy if you email me off list...
