need help bro, when i set up the busses it also picks up sounds from outside the system as if it was recording only im not recodrding anything???

[mtbmnet]

@Redwanbeatz it sound like you still have the ext in set to your incoming audio. it needs to be set to the track you want to record in from and the track needs to be set to IN and not AUTO. if that doesnt work message me back.

@Pete75227 Thanks dude

hiya, thx for the video series, very helpful, but i dont really get this part, why bussing every single track and then working on its output in new audio tracks? i mean, is this some clean-working stuff or does this helps in some other way, audio-wise, i mean, how does this step makes things better in the final sonic result?

[mtbmnet]

@yoryiboy1 yes, as spoken of above, I did this because it does cut down the amount of tracks so that it didnt affect my cpu. You dont have to do this but I find it easier when mixing.

@mtbmnet thx bro ye i figured that out like way beofre so i was quiet irretated when u said the output not in master but in the bus, i used to let it go to the bus and the ext to the channel but thx a lot though. keep doing ya thang bro

[mtbmnet]

@mpc3po yes indeed, delete all once recorded and then mix down.

[mpc3po]

once you have recorded all these busses, did you say you would now delete the unbussed/original tracks? seems like you would do this to clean house, clean up and not have main tracks taking up processing power unnecessarily, correct? or do you need these tracks to feed the busses..(i couldn't imagine you would need them if it is all recorded into final mixdown bus) thanks.
