Chapter 6 Logic’s Mixing Facilities 215
As an example, if a channel is called “Mix”, it has no specific function related to that
name as far as Logic is concerned. It’s up to you to decide what to do with whatever
channel. If there is no Audio Object for a ReWire return created in the Environment, no
audio is transferred between a ReWired application and Logic. How does this work in
practice with ReBirth, for example? In this scenario, you will find two channels called
“Mix L” and “Mix R” within Logic. The two Mix channels return the summed mix of
ReBirth’s outputs. You will also find channels for every individual instrument. When
creating an Audio Object for another channel such as the bass drum, for example, you
will only hear the bass drum through that channel, and it is removed from the mix
returns.
Logic is always Synchronization master. As Logic is also the Cycle master, Skip Cycle
works, too.
The following functions are shared between the applications:
• start/stop,
• repositioning,
• cycle start and end,
• tempo change
Output Objects
Output Objects represent Logic’s audio outputs. This is where level and stereo balance
are adjusted; mastering plug-ins can also be inserted here, such as multi-band
compressors or the Fat EQ. The number of available Outputs is determined by the
audio hardware in use.
