HOW TO SUBGROUP FOR A BETTER MIX [2022 PRO SUBGROUPING TECHNIQUES]

In this mix tutorial for Logic Pro X I'll be showing you how to get a better sounding mix with subgroups. Subgrouping is like a mix within your mix that will speed up your workflow, give you more control, and help to keep everything organized. Learn about why certain tracks get subgrouped together, which combinations work best, and how to go about processing each subgroup.
Presented using Logic Pro X, but will work in any DAW, like Protools, FL Studio, Cubase, Ableton, etc.

wow great video! like everyone is saying, subgrouping the kick/bass makes so much sense

Insanely helpful insight to the way we otherwise would NORMALLY look at sub grouping...🤓👍🎉🎉Thsnks trillions Arty.... 🤓

[bradbarber]

Very cool hearing the drum sub without the kick, it really glues the kit together! I'm going to try that, and have the kick and bass in a separate sub, thanks for the great advice and demo

[corystallworth]

Great stuff! Question: Did you have a Skylab Studio in NJ back in the 90’s. I remember recording at a place called Skylab with my band Heather back in the day.

[frankbetancourt]

Great tutorial work, Arty! I get the concept now of "grouping" inside of "grouping". One question that I have though, that I think will further unlock the whole thing for me is: If I send various channels to a mixbus via "send on faders" on my digital console, do I set those channel faders to a Unity volume like say, -10db, then turn off the "sends on faders" and mix the channels into the mixbus? Or, do I do the mixing while the "sends on faders" feature is active to that mixbus. Just trying to establish a repeatable workflow...thanks,
