Busing Tracks to Reverb in Pro Tools

The next thing I'm going to talk about is busing a track. Busing a track basically reroutes tracks to auxiliary tracks so that you can effect multiple tracks at the same time. With this one, I'm going to send these two drum tracks to a separate auxiliary track. So, the thing I'm going to do is create a brand new auxiliary track. Go to create new tracks, choose auxiliary and choose stereo. I'm going to create maybe; I'll create two of them. Now, the first one I'm going to assign the input to bus seven-eight. So now when I put, so what I want to do is I want to send these two to seven-eight. So, what I can do is press. I can go to my sends, bus it out to seven-eight. Turn the volume up. Do the same exact thing for other drums, seven-eight and turn the volume up. So, now when I play these drums tracks it's not only playing within their tracks. It's also playing on another track. So now I have, now it's basically playing twice. So, what I can do with this one is add an effect to it. Which, I'm going to add a reverb. So, now that I add a reverb it's going to play just a little differently. What I've got to do, is I've got to change the reverb a little bit. Just bring it down a little bit.
