Pre-Fader-Send and Pre-Plug-In routing

[briancares]

We´re assuming (and it sounds just like that) that if switching the send pre-fader, we also switch it pre-plug-ins? Is that correct?

Nope, sends are always post-insert. If you want to send something pre-insert then you'll have to put a send on the track and then output the track to a bus, then put the inserts on an AUX that has its input set to that bus.

If I want to have a pre-plugin send, you can either do what Mesaone suggested with an aux track; or just duplicate the original track remove the plugins and use that as your send track.

You can also set the output of the duplicate track to a bus if you don't need the unprocessed signal coming through your main bus.
