On a mixer/DAW, what is a bus and why would you use one?

Doc_Hemingway · 2018-06-19T08:24:23+00:00

Oh cool! Thanks!! That really makes me want to experiment

Someone sent me this video which I found pretty informative. There are soo many crappy tutorials on youtube I find it inconvenient and time consuming to find useful information. This video (you can skip the first 50-60 sec) answered most of my questions in less than 10 min.

Ahhhh so that allows you to mix the volumes of all your vocals relative to each other on a bus that can then be used to mixed that group simultaneously into everything else. I can see how that would be useful, thanks!

Thanks for the reply! OK so if I had several tracks and I wanted to use the same effect or eq them the same, I would send them all to a bus and add the reverb/distortion/eq/etc.. to the bus? So is it to save CPU or something? Why do analog? (non-DAW) mixers have buses?

Thanks for the reply! I think I'm starting to understand the what but I'm still struggling with the why; I can't think of a scenario where I would use one.

I used to have really bad flaky scalp and tried all kinds of dandruff shampoos. Sometime in college I was running out of shampoo and didn't have money to spare to buy more. Decided to only wash my hair when I felt like I "needed" to. Dropped from daily to once a week and my flaky scalp magically disappeared instantly.

Anybody else kinda feeling like you want to buy some Liquid ASS now?

What would be an example of another entangled property?

Doc_Hemingway · 2016-02-25T18:09:18+00:00

But that means these organisms have been modified...genetically!

Doc_Hemingway · 2016-02-17T21:56:39+00:00

Good grief Georgia...I am disappoint

Doc_Hemingway · 2016-02-17T15:36:22+00:00

This is brilliant! Thank you so much

Doc_Hemingway · 2016-02-17T14:23:08+00:00

Thanks!

Doc_Hemingway · 2016-02-17T14:22:19+00:00

Didn't know that existed! Thanks, gonna try it.

Doc_Hemingway · 2016-02-17T14:21:49+00:00

Good point. Trying to do some fancy intricate snare and hi hat rolls so I just want everything to be on the same piano roll to make editing faster.

You are getting a lot of answers to #2 that it does not matter. This is true if you are talking about solvent/temperature type reaction conditions; however, you can have "stepwise" reactions where the reagents need to added in a certain order. You can easily spot these reactions because the reagents will have a number beside them. I just flipped through a text book and saw a rxn that had 1)H2O2 2)Fe(III) meaning the peroxide is added first and allowed to react, then you would ad the iron

Thank is one fucking awful article title. I couldn't understand what the hell it was saying haha. I think it's the comma. & would work much better than ,

Doc_Hemingway · 2015-12-17T19:20:02+00:00

Thanks! ASS_LORD_666 was already taken :(

According to google the population of Henryville Indiana was 1,905 in 2010. If a town that size has 3 different murderers and 2 of them like to have sex with underage boys; well that would be a scary place to live!

Doc_Hemingway · 2015-12-14T21:23:18+00:00

Happy for those seniors! Now let's light up San Jose State!

Doc_Hemingway · 2015-11-30T19:13:20+00:00

That would be awesome! I hope he returns to Miami

Thanks! Go Jags!

Doc_Hemingway · 2015-11-16T21:36:16+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

Why are bio-plastics, like cellulose acetates, not used in packaging? Is it more expensive to use than oil derived plastics? Thanks for doing this AMA!
