Audio effects
Note that the last three items are not shown until the Send
is activated and an effect has been loaded.
2. Pull down the routing pop-up menu for a send by
clicking in the empty slot, and select the desired routing
destination.
• If the first item on this menu, “No Bus” is selected, the send
isn’t routed anywhere.
• Items called “FX 1”, “FX 2” etc. correspond to existing FX
tracks. If you have renamed an FX track (see “Adding an FX
channel track” on page 9) that name will appear on this menu
instead of the default.
• The menu also allows for routing a send directly to output bus-
ses, separate output bus channels or Group channels.
3. In this case, select an FX channel track from the pop-
up menu.
Now the send is routed to the FX channel.
4. Click the power button for the effect send so that it
lights up in blue.
This activates the send.
5. Click and drag the send level slider to a moderate
value.
The send level determines how much of the signal from the audio chan-
nel is routed to the FX channel via the send.
Setting the Send level.
6. If you want the signal to be sent to the FX channel be-
fore the audio channel’s volume fader in the mixer, click on
the Pre Fader button for the send so that it lights up.
Normally you want the effect send to be proportional to the channel vol-
ume (post fader send). The picture below shows where the sends are
“tapped” from the signal in pre and post fader mode:
A send set to pre fader mode.
Ö You can choose whether a send in pre fader mode
should be affected by the channel’s Mute button or not.
This is done with the option “Mute Pre-Send when Mute” in the Prefer-
ences (VST page).
• When one or several sends are activated for a channel,
the Send Effects buttons light up in blue in the mixer and
the Track list. Click the button for a channel to bypass
(disable) all its effect sends.
When the sends are bypassed, the button is yellow. Click the button
again to enable the sends. Note that this button is also available in the In-
spector and the Channel settings window.
Click this button to bypass the sends.
