Re: Sends on faders
I can see some value in a flip fader option in PT software itself, it could be better in some cases than having to open up lots of individual long send faders that we can do already.
The main limitation is that you would have to be rigorous (aren't we all?) in dedicating a specific send slot on all channels to send to the same bus. I've seen many sessions where sends to a specific bus are spread across various send slots.
It could be very confusing if you used a flip fader option in the software and what you got on the long faders were actually sends to a variety of different busses. There would have to be an update of the track output selector to show the fader is a send, and to show which bus it is being sent to.
In fact, you could quickly end up with utter chaos if you didn't keep an keen eye on exactly what send routing each longer fader was actually currently controlling.
