The process for creating these “sub master sums” can be achieved in different ways for different DAWs. Not only can you turn the drums up or down, but you can add effects as inserts such as compression to glue them together or send out to a reverb. If you set the output of all your drums, or groups of drums, to one track (aka the drum sum), then you have the ability to turn the volume of all your drums up or down with one fader. What is the purpose of this extra layer track groupings?Ī very standard “sub-master sum” track would be something like a drum sum or what’s more commonly called, a drum bus. If you turn down all of the sub-master sum tracks, you shouldn’t hear any sound. “Sub-Master Sums” is a name that I made up (as far as I know) for 3-6 tracks that can control your entire mix. In a DAW like Ableton, you an create any old audio track and set the input of that track to be from the “Master”, thus this step isn’t necessary.

When I use Logic or Pro Tools as my DAW, I prefer to create a new Aux track and have all my audio routed to that so I have the flexibility of sending the audio back into my session to print(record) my mix on an audio track in the session or re-sample the mix for use in the track. In your DAW there might already be a track that automatically appears in every session called a “Stereo Out” or “Master” which functions as a master-bus. This next paragraph is like a chunk of raw broccoli, not necessarily entertaining, but good to digest. Any effects applied on the master bus will affect the entire mix. If you mute the master bus you should not hear any sounds. The master-bus or 1-2 bus is the track where all of the sounds in your session will ultimately wind up. Color coding your tracks will make your life so much easier, choose the colors that make sense to you. There are no rules on where to specifically put your elements, you can put the basses on the top of your session or the bottom, just do what works for you. It’s fine to do that as you’re building a track, if it works for you, but eventually you have stop and get everything into check. I think the impulse for us as creative people is to create tracks and get to the fun part of making sounds as fast as possible, leaving the organizational problems to future us. This session isn’t big and there isn’t a ton to keep track of, but I always prefer to keep my tracks organized right from the beginning.
all the pads are in the middle of the session and the tracks are colored blue, drums are on the bottom and colored purple ect, then keep doing it and skip to the next section. If you are already placing similar track elements next to each other and color coding them, i.e.

The full video tutorial embed is at the bottom of the article. Note: These concepts work for all DAWs, live mixing applications, foley or whatever you’re mixing but the exact names/methods can vary a bit from place to place.Īnother Note: Although all video embeds look the same, they are time stamped to play at the relevant section of the article. Whether you have 10 tracks or a 1000 tracks, if you set up your routing right you’ll be able to control your mix with ease. If the picture above looks confusing don’t worry, it’ll all make sense soon.
