Creating a Master Send Level Control
A Master Fader can control the overall level of
bus and output paths.
To create a Master send level control:
1 Choose File > New Track.
2 Specify the track type (Master Fader), and
mono, stereo, or any of the supported multi-
channel formats for surround mixing.
3 Click Create.
4 Do one of the following:
• Set the output of the Master Fader to the
same path that you are using to send to an
Auxiliary Input track.
• Set the output of the Master Fader to match
the path that you have chosen for your ef-
fects send.
You can then adjust send levels to balance the
source tracks, and use the Master Fader as a mas-
ter level control for the entire submix.
Soloing Tracks in a Submix
Before you solo any tracks in a submix, you can
solo safe the Auxiliary Input track to eliminate
the necessity of having to also solo the Auxiliary
Input (to hear any effects) when you solo a
source track.
To solo safe an Auxiliary Input:
■ Control-click (Windows) or Command-click
(Macintosh) the Solo button on the Auxiliary
Input track.
To solo an individual track that is part of a group:
■ Start-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac-
intosh) the Solo button.
Generating Stereo Output from a Mono
Send/Return
You can use an Auxiliary Return arrangement to
generate a stereo output from a mono send. Set
the send destination to a mono Auxiliary Input
track and place a mono to stereo plug-in on the
Auxiliary Input. The output of the Auxiliary In-
put becomes stereo.
To create a “stereo” effect from a mono source,
you must use “reverb” or “delay” effects.
