System information
If you can't see the multipurpose slider, drag the bottom edge of the track header to increase
its height.
2. Drag the fader to adjust the level of the track sent to the bus.
Tips:
n You can also use the Sends control region on the bus channel strip to adjust bus send levels.
For more information, see "Bus Channel Strips" on page 363.
n Bus sends are pre-volume by default. When bus sends are pre-volume, you can create a cue
mix that is independent of your main mix. To change to post-volume, right-click the bus
fader and choose Post Volume from the shortcut menu. For more information, see "Creating
a Cue (Headphone) Mix with the Mixing Console" on page 382.
n If you want to apply track panning to bus sends (including pan position and panning
mode), right click the bus fader and choose Link to Main Track Pan from the shortcut menu.
When Link to Main Track Panis not selected, the track sends a center-panned stereo signal
using the track's current panning mode. For more information, see "Audio panning modes"
on page 444.
n Select the Use legacy track send gain check box on the Audio page of the Preferences
dialog if you want to configure audio track sends to behave as they did in Vegas Pro 7.0 and
earlier. When the check box is selected, you can open projects created with earlier versions of
Vegas Pro and be assured they will sound the same as they did in earlier versions of Vegas
Pro. For more information, see "Preferences - Audio Tab" on page 593.
Using Bus Envelopes
Bus envelopes allow you to change the level of a track sent to a bus over time.
For more information, see "Busses - Overview" on page 333 and "Audio Track Automation" on page 255.
Routing Busses
The Mixing Console window allows you to create up to 26 (plus the Master) virtual busses that you can
route to hardware attached to your computer or to other busses.
By default, all busses are assigned to the Master bus. In this configuration, you can use them for creating
subgroups of tracks—for example, you could route all your drum tracks to a bus so you can adjust their
levels together without changing their relative levels. When you assign busses to hardware outputs, you can
use busses for sending tracks to external effects processors or for mixing on an external mixer.
When you route busses to hardware outputs, the outputs from those busses will not be included in the
mix when you render your project.
Routing a bus to another bus
1. Add busses to your project. For more information, see "Adding Audio Busses" on page 334.
