SENDS PROCEDURE?

[ahamay]

Hi all.

Can anyone please help me?
It's a bit of a silly question really.

How do l send an effect from one audio channel to another?ln effect,how do's the sends procedure work, bearing in mind that l have no mixer so l'm using an aux send for midi.

Would l need to use another to send the effect(l'm starting to sound dizzy)?

Thank you Jay.

Go to File>New Track> make it an aux (mono or stereo).

Set the input in the I/O section to whatever you want. Usually for sends use a bus.

For example, say you want to use one reverb plug-in for lots of tracks. Put the reverb plug on an Insert on the Aux Track. Set the input of the Aux Track to Bus 1-2. Set the output of the Aux to 1-2 usually (or whatever 001 output you want).

Now if you want a track to have reverb on it, under Sends of the Edit window... set up a send (click on one of the boxes in Sends) and route the send to Bus 1-2. MAKE SURE when the send fader pops up you turn it up (the default is -infinity, all the way down)(option-click on the fader to make it zero, or go to preferences and uncheck Send level is -infinity).

There are lots of ways to route things, but this is typical for an effects send.
