Question about outputs

[coro]

hey!

I remember I was able to accomplish this easily before but as of now I cannot route these 3 tracks to "Track 4" as it only shows "Main"

I know I can create a group but I recall doing that even without a group? Or I recall wrong?

I'm sure I'm missing something dumb XD

Thanks!!

You're showing channels, not tracks. : )
But I get your point. Here's how I'd perform what I think you're asking in both a tracks and channels state.

In the arrangement view, at the left where track controls are, select each tracks output (Vox and Piano) to Track #4. Set Track #4's monitor and record buttons.

Run a brief pass to make sure sure levels on Track #4 look correct and are receiving levels.
Routing is done. If by chance you then want to record.........
Record the track by pressing record on the transport bar.

Thats one way, which might best allow the levels you'd want when merging those two tracks to #4. Another way would be to create a bus, but I'm keeping it simple, not knowing what your endgame is.
Cheers!

Hi coro,

if you want to route channel 1-3 to the FX channel, select these three channels and select the FX channel as the output. On the screenshot you're selecting the output of the FX channel itself - so obviously it will show only "Main" if there aren't any other busses or FX channels.

Also: Are you sure you wanted an FX channel instead of a Bus channel?

Yes, to Lucas' point, I may have thought you were routing those two tracks to channel 4, when you were looking to create a bus/fx send?
As Lucas mentions, "On the screenshot you're selecting the output of the FX channel itself - so obviously it will show only "Main" if there aren't any other busses or FX channels."
So, whatever works.

Thank you all for the insights

What I wanted to achieve was

- route all those tracks (including the FX output) to a new track so that I could audition my buddy's LR mix without my master bus processing and do a quick A/B.

Creating a group and apply my mastering plugin was the way to go.

I guess my 15 years of Logic went in my way lol

Thank you all again

.......I know I can create a group but I recall doing that even without a group? Or I recall wrong?

We were sort of going around the group process, from your OP. But hey, you got it the way you wanted and expected.

The beauty of Studio One, Logic, or a number of excellent DAW's is, there are numerous ways to do such things.
Cheers!
