just a hobbyist... normally compose from an empty Logic session and add as I go. Now I have set up a template to try working that way.
The template is pretty simple with a little over a hundred hybrid and orchestral tracks. (don't need many as I use articulation sets) I used Logic "summing stacks" to create groups by orchestral section. (strings, brass, winds, etc) This Logic function creates a new aux track and changes the output of all selected tracts to that new aux track. The "summing stack" tracks of course output to the master (stereo out) bus.
Now for reverb, I have chosen to create additional aux tracks for each section, and have inserted SpacesII on each. At this point I can either:
1) send each orchestral section "summing stack" to their respective reverb aux tack. But this DOES NOT allow me to control reverb amounts for each instrument in that group. So I have chosen to:
2) send every instrument in the orchestral section "summing stack" to its group reverb, so I have full control. Each brass instrument for example outputs to the brass stack and sends to the brass reverb aux track.
so... the horns output to brass stack bus AND send to the brass reverb bus, then the brass stack bus AND brass reverb bus both output to the stereo out. (final mix) REPEAT FOR EACH INSTRUMENT TRACK
FINALLY THE QUESTION... Is this routing correct OR should the section reverb buses output back to the section stacks buses rather than directly to the final mix bus? Or does that matter?
Thanks and I hope the question is clear!
