"Now I'm going to show you how to add effects to different tracks. It's basically the same as adding a reverb, except you can add any type of plug in to any channel. So, instead of a reverb, right here I've set up a delay, which is in my logics plug in menu. As well as you could add a distortion, you could add different EQ, a different filter, or some special plug ins which logic gives you, which are more of the pitch correction, and different enhancers. To do that you do the same thing, you set up your second bus, your third bus, whatever bus you want to up. And then you correlate your send to the same bus and then you can change the effects level based on the amount of sent. And now the other thing you can do is if you hit 'V', which will take you to view, you can view your send options so that you can change them specifically on specific parts so you want to hit a certain word with a certain delay, you can do that via automation."
