You can record the output of an FX bus track. For example, you could record the output of a reverb bus to a stereo audio track, then use stereo or dual panning to adjust its positioning in your mix. Here's how:
- Set up a FX Bus track, select it, and arm it for recording. 2. You might wish to also turn up the track’s Receives to get a good strong signal – you can always turn down the volume when playing it back later. 3. On the record arm context menu, set the track to Monitor Input and chose a Recording Mode. This is likely to be Output, Stereo. Output mode will most likely want to be Post fader. 4. Play the song and monitor the signal level. 5. Rewind to start and press Record. Stop recording when finished. Tip: After doing this you will most likely want to mute the sends to the bus and set the bus FX to bypass. It can still be a good idea to leave the FX inserted in the bus, as a record of how the output was produced.
