sends

[SamuelAdams]

why arnt my sends working? i have a voice track (bass), i have a send going to an aux track with a verb on it, the send is set at bus 3 and 4. the input on the aux track is bus 3 and 4, and the insert has the verb as i said b4.

why is no signal coming through to it? i shouldnt have to output the signal to the aux track to get the verb i just want to send it.

make sure the send fader is pushed up, the aux return fader is pushed up, the reverb isn't bypassed, and the output of the aux return is set for analog 1-2.

Sorry for bringing up a topic that I'm sure you're all sick of, but I've looked through both of my books and searched back through a few years of this board and I'm still having problems setting up my sends.

I have a snare track. I set "send a" to "bus 1" and pushed the send's fader up.

I have an aux track for reverb. I set its input to "bus 1".

I double checked everything in the post above mine, but I don't get any sound coming into my aux track (the meter doesn't show anything). It seems odd, because when I bring up the snare track's send fader, I see the meter moving, so I assume it's being sent correctly.

Any ideas or help, no matter how ridiculously stupid they may seem, would be greatly appreciated. After all, I'm pretty new to PT. Thanks.

is the send muted? there is a mute button in the little send fader window.

is anything solo'd?

is the snare track solo'd/muted?

[petepfarr]

No, no, and no on all 3 of those. Thanks for the help, though. I just can't figure it out. Anyone else have any suggestions?

I don't think it makes any difference, but I found this thread by searching all of the forums. I didn't realize it was the mac board until after I posted. I'm a windows guy. But that shouldn't make a difference in this case, should it?

Thanks.

The channel fader of the aux is up (bottom of mixer window)? Mine default to "-infinity dB".

Are you sure you created an aux track for the return? Sometimes people accidentally create an audio track and have this problem where everything seems to be correct, but they don't hear their effect.

[petepfarr]

That's what it is! Thank you! See what I was saying? Stupid. I didn't even realize there was a difference. I just thought people say aux to refer to the track's use. So, how do I go about setting one up?

Once again, thanks.

[Shawn Simpson]

In the new track dialog, just choose aux track from the list instead of audio track. Good luck.

Thanks. I'm at work right now (don't tell my boss I'm screwing around), but I'll try it when I get home.
