A useful feature in Logic X Mixer is the ability to quickly locate a Return channel for any given aux Send. We'll cover automation later in this course as well. The benefit of doing this is that it allows you to easily edit the automation for the Return channel. We're not going to do this for now though. If you want to see the newly created Return in the main window, just right-click on the Returns channel strip in the mixer and choose Create Track. When you do this, notice that the meter in the mixer changes from one to two channels. Just click on the circle or circles to toggle from Mono to Stereo, or from Stereo to Mono. One circle indicates a mono channel, and two circles indicates a stereo channel. To the left of the input on the aux Return is a circle. We could also rename the channel to reflect what we're going to use it for. If we were going to use the Send and the Return that we just created for a reverb, delay, or another effect, we could insert the effect plugin on this aux Return channel. And it names the Return channel for us, in this case Aux 2, or Aux 3, or Aux 4 would be next. You can see that Logic automatically creates an aux Return for us, sets the input to the Return here to the same bus as the send output. The bus carries or shuttles a copy of the source signal from the source to the destination, in this case Aux 2.
We can see that Bus 1 is already used in the track stack for the drums, so let's choose Bus 2. To create a Send, click on the Sends drop down on the lead vocal channel, and choose an available bus for the Send. We'll talk about using reverb in your mix later in the course. We're going to create a Send on the lead vocal channel, which we can use for a reverb. Go ahead and open the exercise file for this video or your latest session, if you're not using the exercise files. Using Sends in Logic X Mixer is incredibly simple. Multiple channels can all be sent to the same bus and return to the same aux channel, as this diagram illustrates. When working with Sends and Returns, the Return's purpose is to Return the signal sent via a specific bus. An aux channel is just a channel that only routes audio and doesn't contain any source material of its own, like audio files or software instruments. The aux Returns is typically an aux channel.
The Return is what we call this destination. An aux Send is just a copy of the signal on any given channel, which is then sent to another destination. Let's take a more detailed look at using auxiliary Sends and Returns.
