![]() ![]() So I guess my question is, what (if any) benefit would there be to using VCAs rather than routing folders for those 'mains' folders? My understanding is that one benefit is that if I group all 3 guitar folders to a VCA and mute/solo the VCA any sends I have on those individual guitar folders will also mute/solo. And then another layout for the guitars where I'll see the folders for guitars 1,2,3. I also then will create some different layouts on my S1 - for example, a 'mains' layout that has the primary folders for drums, bass, guitars, keys, vocals, etc. I do it this way so that I can have inserts/sends on the individual guitars and/or the overall guitar bus and still control the guitars with a single fader (again, just like an aux, but with the benefit of being able to collapse the folder to keep things visually clean). In terms of mix/edit groups, I'll group the mics for a particular guitar track (guitar 1a, guitar 1b grouped as guitar 1) but I generally don't group the routing folders for the 3 guitars. If I have 3 guitars in a song, each with 2 tracks (different mics) I'll put the two tracks for each guitar in it's own routing folder and then those three folders are nested in a main 'guitars' folder. I'll use guitars as an example, but this is pretty much my setup for other instruments as well. So I currently use routing folders exactly how I used to use aux tracks. This one is probably more subjective in some ways, and hopefully I can explain this without making it overly complicated. Is there a preference I haven't found that would allow me to change that behavior?Ģ. I'll typically set these as the song is playing back on a first or second listen just to give myself visual cues for verse/chorus changes etc, but if I hit 'enter' to create a new marker I'd like to have the marker created where my selection is rather than where the playback head is. ![]() ![]() Probably an equal mix of songs where I've been the tracking engineer and songs where I'm just the mix engineer.ġ. Primarily recording/mixing live bands (typically very few instrument tracks etc). I should also mention I'm strictly doing music production, no post work or anything like that. I'm hoping I can tap into the collective knowledge here and get some tips on some ways I'm trying to speed up my mixing workflow. ![]()
