The section contains the following items:

the effect devices.

be left in the off position).

Description
Level Adjusts the FX Return master level. The master return levels are normally left at the default value, 0dB. If you wish to in-
crease/decrease the effect balance, this is best done by increasing/decreasing the send levels for the individual chan-
nels using the effect. You can, however, use the FX Return level to change the overall balance of a send effect in the
mix.
Pan Pan adjusts the return signal stereo balance.
Meter Shows the signal level of the return bus.
EDIT button This brings the connected effect device in the rack into view for easy editing of its parameters.
Mute (M) This mutes the return signal for the send effect.
Name label This automatically shows the name of the last effect device in the send signal path. If you enter a new name for the la-
bel, this overrides the automatic naming. Deleting a manually entered name will bring back the automatic naming.
