3. In the “Sends” section of the Audio track, create a Bus send.
Set the Bus level to 0.0dB.
When you create the Bus send, Logic will automatically create an Aux track with that bus selected as the input.
Pro Tools, Cubase, Live, etc.
4. In the new Aux input track, instantiate your favorite reverb plugin.
Raise the Aux 1 channel fader to 0.0dB.

5. In the mixer view’s Option’s menu, create a New Auxiliary Channel Strip.
6. Set this new Aux 2 channel’s input to the FX Send L/R (Input 15-16 in this example)
7. Set the Aux 2 channel to “No Output” (or lower the fader), and create a bus send to the same bus as the Audio track.
Set the Bus level to 0.0dB.
10. In Element Control, raise the FX Send fader for the Analog 1 channel to 0.0dB

At the end, your Logic Project will look like this:
This creates a dual-path signal flow: ● Path 1 happens when Recording ●
happens when Playing back that recording
Path 1: Audio from Element Control Analog 1 input is sent to Logic’s Audio 1 track for recording.
This Analog 1 Input signal also goes via the FX Send to Logic Aux 2 input, which then Bus sends to the Aux with the Reverb plugin.
The Reverb Aux output is routed to the stereo output of the Logic session which returns to the Element Control mixer via Playback 1-2.
Element Control Mixer 1 combines the Analog 1 signal with the reverb from Playback 1-2 and the mix of these is sent to the Main and Headphone outputs.
When playing back the recording in Logic’s Audio track 1, the Bus 1 Send on this track sends the signal to the Aux with the Reverb Plugin applied.
This Audio playback track and Reverb Aux track is mixed in Logic’s Mixer and sent to the Stereo Out, where it arrives in Element Control via Playback 1-2.
Element Control Mixer 1 then sends the Playback 1-2 signal on to the Main and Headphone outputs.
●
doesn’t change from recording to playback.
● Adjust the Bus 1 sends for a proper level to the Reverb Aux track, then adjust the Reverb Aux track fader until the desired amount of reverb is heard.

A/D Expander Snapshot Template This Snapshot Template facilitates the use of your Element Firewire interface as a simple Analog to Digital Converter (A/D). This snapshot is useful when wanting to send digital audio to a Digital Mixer, or separate Audio Interface. In this way, you can utilize the excellent Apogee Preamps and Converters through another digital audio system.
The Individual Analog inputs are sent directly to the ADAT optical outputs.

● Element 46 - Analog input 1 - 4 > ADAT output ch 1 - 4 ● Element 88 - Analog input 1 - 8 > ADAT output ch 1 - 8

Working with a Multiple Element Interface Setup The connection of any two Element Series interfaces is supported in any desired order, for a system with up to 16 analog inputs, 8 line outputs, and 4 headphone outputs.
Connecting a Multiple Element Interface System: To connect multiple Element interfaces:
● A Mac with at least two Thunderbolt ports is required ● Element interfaces may be connected directly to your Mac or after dual-port Thunderbolt peripherals ● The Optical I/O of both interfaces is used for digital clocking and audio signal bussing between the interface’s low latency (direct) monitoring mixers. Thus, Optical I/O is not available for external connections in a Multiple Element Interface System

The Multiple Element Interface System in Use When a Multiple Element Interface System is first powered up, one of the two interfaces is designated at random to be the Master interface. The Master’s front panel LED light will be green while the Slave’s front panel LED light will be blue (if the Slave interface LED is flashing red, check that optical cables are connected as shown above).
Note that only the Master interface has these attributes: ● System clock master ● Main outputs configurable for connection to speakers ● Inputs listed first in DAW input lists.
To change the Master device, open the System sidebar, then change the designated interface in the Master Device dropdown. Inputs and outputs of the two Element interfaces are aggregated in the Apogee Thunderbolt driver, so that both interfaces appear as one audio device named Apogee Thunderbolt in your DAW or in OS X System Sound Preferences. To distinguish inputs for each interface, Master input labels include the prefix A, Slave input labels include the prefix B.
Likewise, Element Control Input settings, Low Latency mixer channels, and Main/Headphone output controls are labelled with A and B prefixes to distinguish Master and Slave software controls.
Once two Element interfaces have been connected, Element Control retains data from both, even if one of the interfaces is later disconnected. This means that even if one interface is missing, the I/O detected by your DAW and OS X remains consistent, plus all previously saved Snapshots remain compatible.
Disconnected interfaces appear as “offline” devices; all settings in Element Control pertaining to an offline device appear in a greyed out state.
To permanently delete an offline device, open the Device sidebar and click on the Trashcan icon at the bottom of the offline device’s settings.
