Routing an Audio Channel to the FX Channel
The next step is to set up a send for an audio channel and route it to the FX channel.
This can be done in the Channel Settings window or in the Inspector for the audio
track. The example below shows the Channel Settings window, but the procedure
is similar for all the sections:
PROCEDURE
1. Click the “e” button for an audio channel to bring up its Channel Settings
window.
Each of the sends has the following controls:
• An On/Off button for activating/deactivating the effect
• A send level slider
2. Click the arrow icon in an empty send slot to open the selector, and select an
FX channel track as routing destination.
• If the first item on this menu (“No Bus”) is selected, the send is not routed
anywhere.
• Items called “FX 1”, “FX 2” etc. correspond to existing FX tracks. If you
renamed an FX track, that name will appear on this menu instead of the default.
• The menu also allows for routing a send directly to output busses, separate
output bus channels or Group channels.
3. Activate the On/Off button for the send.
4. Click and drag the send level slider to determine how much of the signal from
the audio channel is routed to the FX channel.
Setting the Send level
You can also double-click and enter a value numerically. If you hold down [Alt]/[Option]
when double-clicking, the send destination is shown in the Channel Settings window.
If you have routed the send to an FX channel, the plug-in panel opens.
NOTE
To determine how much of the signal from the FX channel is sent to the output bus,
open the Channel Settings window for the FX track and adjust the effect return level.
