Creating Submixes
Submixing the Individual
Drums of a Drum Kit.
Suppose we have the individual drums of a drum kit coming in on separate tracks for
multitrack recording. In the mix, we can easily change the volumes of the individual drums,
but adjusting the volume of the entire drum kit against the rest of the music is less convenient.
Therefore, we add a new audio track to submix the drums. The individual drum tracks are
all set to output to the submix track, which outputs to the Master. The submix track gives
us a handy volume control for the entire drum kit.
Submixing by setting a
track's Output Type to
Sends Only
A third possibility is to use Live's return tracks for submixing. This is done by selecting the
Sends Only option in a track's Output Type, then turning up a Send control as desired. The
corresponding return track will then act as a submixer channel.
