Short, last-minute entry this week. I've been really sick basically the entire week, so I've not really had the brainpower to throw at this. Nevertheless, a commitment is a commitment, so I dragged myself out of bed and threw this together.

This week I taught myself about how sends and audio buses work in Logic X. I've got all of the drums stacked on top of each other, outputting directly to one bus and sending to another. The first bus is the "master" bus that contains the filters and controls the master level of the drum stack, and the second bus has a huge, roomy reverb on it (at 0% dry, 100% wet). Each drum track is sent to the reverb bus at a different volume so that I can tweak how much reverb each track gets. I think it worked out pretty nicely!

There's not a whole lot going on here, musically, but this was mostly an experiment to see how I could route my reverbs, delays, and filters around for easier automation. As always, critique is welcomed.
