System information
When you remove a bus from a project, any tracks assigned to that bus will be reassigned to the
previous bus. For example, if you have assigned 4 busses to your project (busses A-D), and later
decrease the number of busses by one, the tracks assigned to Bus D will be assigned to Bus C.
Assigning Tracks to Busses
Assigning tracks to busses allows you to apply settings to a series of tracks or route tracks to a hardware
output.
For example, if you wanted to apply the same three effects to several tracks, you could apply the effects to
a bus and assign the tracks to that bus. For more information, see "Using Bus Effects" on page 304. If you
wanted to send several tracks to a single hardware output, you could assign the tracks to a bus and then
route the bus to a hardware output. For more information, see "Routing Busses" on page 336.
Assigning a track to a bus
1. Click the bus button on the track header.
The button is displayed as a when the track is routed to the master bus, and the bus letter is
displayed ( , , and so on) when a track is routed to another bus.
You can also use the I/O control region on the bus channel strip to set a track's output device.
For more information, see "Bus Channel Strips" on page 363.
2. Select the desired bus from the menu. The Bus button changes to display the selected bus.
If the Bus button does not appear on the track, then you have not specified more than one bus
in your project settings. For more information on specifying the number of busses for your
project, see "Adding Audio Busses" on page 334.
Adjusting a bus send level
1. Click the label on the multipurpose slider and choose the desired bus from the menu. The label
changes to reflect the name of the bus.
