Batch Inserting Inserts to Save Time in Logic Pro
Got a simple tip for you guys, something I did by accident yesterday (should have read the manual ages ago, but that’s a lost case) that will save you time: in Logic Pro, you can add the same insert to a bunch of audio channels simultaneously through the Mixer. For example, I use Voxengo’s free and awesome spectrum analyzer ‘SPAN’ on all my inserts audio channels, instrument channels, aux channels, and, of course, the Master channel. Before, I had to insert the insert into one of the channels, and option-command-drag to each channel one by one. Tedious as all hell. The easy way:
- In Apple Logic, go to Window > Mixer
- At the very bottom of the mixer, click and drag across all your channels
- On any of the channels, click an empty Insert slot and navigate to the Insert/Plug-in you want
- Voila, now all your channels have the same plug-in in the same slot position, without extra hassle
