You're sitting in the studio working on a mix. Playing with the panning of a track to sit it where you hear it... and nothing is happening. Hmm you think, what THE HELL!, well, helps if you send to the main outs instead of to a BUS, unless you're going to pan the BUS. Somewhere at some point, I must have either seen a video, or someone told me that was a way to process a track.. but, for the life of me, I can't remember why.
Needless to say, moving the BUS to where it belongs above the send fixed the issue. It's one of those moments after all these years where you just palm face.
Yours in ever learning mode...

I have the option in Logic Pro to send to outputs or BUS below effects inserts ( visual heirachy) and BUS sends. If I select BUS send instead of stereo out I no longer can pan the track individually. Like I said stupid noob error.
Makes sense Tony. Well the explanation at least, the Bus function seems a little odd in general. I encountered some weird quirks in digital performer where you could only create a stereo I/o on a track even # inputs. So like inputs 6/7 could be stereo, but trying to assign 7/8 could not. Guess no DAW is perfect!
Cheers T!
I've never had that issue -when I create busses they default to
I've never had that issue -when I create busses they default to stereo, although I can make them mono if I choose.
It's common for me to have several stereo busses in a mix - drums, backing Vox, synths (if it's a song where I'm using more than one synth track)...
Recently set up a stereo bus for a collection of B3 tracks ( NI B4 VSTi)... one track had nothing but swells, one had sweeps, The other had basic chord padding, and I was able to pan each a bit here and there, and on the stereo bus they were assigned to, I inserted an over-easy compressor just to reign in transients a bit, but because it was a stereo buss it "honored" the panning differences I was using on the individual tracks.
But, I can also set up mono busses if I choose, it's just that Samp defaults to stereo when you create one.
FWIW
I'm a little confused tony by exactly what you mean. Was it a Mo
I'm a little confused tony by exactly what you mean. Was it a Mono Bus? Some engineers send to an aux/bus instead of the master to either avoid master bus summing and/or to do fade outs where the effects still trail (i.e. Are audible), or vice versa.
Not sure what you mean by haveing the bus above the send.
lol I've been doing this since I was 13 and I'm still learning every day.
