Okay Jer, this helps quite a lot.  But can you perhaps be even more
specific?  The splitter objects have a SUM output, and then the 16
individual channels.  Let me set up a hypothetical situation, and you tell
me if it makes sense:

Let's say I have ES1 on an audio instrument track (assigned to MIDI channel
1).  I decide to keep it by itself on that track, and put an effect like
autofilter on Bus 1.  I want to be able to jam out and record all of my
"tweakings" both to ES1 and the Autofilter, but obviously I want the
automation data for ES1 on the audio instrument track and the automation
data for Autofilter on a channel splitter/Bus Playback track.

First of all, let's say I am going to be dealing with a number of buses in a
more complex setup than the one outlines above.  Would I use multiple
channel splitters cabled individually to different bus objects in the audio
layer of the environment?  Or would the one bus object that is present in
Logic's default template be able to record separate automation data for all
of the buses?  Does it depend on what MIDI channel that MIDI CC data is set
to?

Ahg, okay, see, now I'm starting to get all confused again.  Do I have to
select a channel splitter in the arrange window in order to record the
automation data to it?  That would seem to make sense, but then again, that
would seem to make it impossible to, in one swoop, record the automation to
the ES1 _and_ the Autofilter which would be on a separate Bus track.

Please help us newbies -- I get the impression that this is a FAQ for many
Logic users, and I will probably write a tutorial on this very subject once
I get it sorted out.  And Jer, mucho thanks for your help.

---------------
A-Playback is a splitter with each channel chained to the appropriate
numbered track on the audio environment window. What you must do is set up a
splitter for the Audio Instrument, one for the Bus, and one for the Master
Outs. Then select the splitter in the arrange window your selected track.
Record all automation on this track. Remember which splitters are chained to
which channel strips in the environment. The more splitters you used, the
more separation of automation data you will have on each splitter track.
Good luck. It's actually quite easy. -Jer
