Pre/post send switch automation
Can someone tell how far along the conversation got with regard to automating the pre/post switch on aux sends? I'm finding it increasingly limiting to do a workaround for something that was so easy to do in the days of analogue consoles!!

Re: Pre/post send switch automation
I've never heard of anyone needing this, As you can automate the send level at will, why not simply use pre-fade sends and automate as needed?

Re: Pre/post send switch automation
I am genuinely curious: what analog console(s) have you used that have fully automated pre/post aux send switches? Having worked for years on SSLs/Neves I don't recall ever seeing that.

Re: Pre/post send switch automation
Digital consoles allowed it and it's really nice. That and automatable routing.
I used to request it for PT but I think it would screw up with the delay compensation and that's why it's not possible. So we're stuck deciding ahead of time if we want a send to be Pre.

Re: Pre/post send switch automation
I have occasionally doubled-up a row of sends, pre and post to the same aux so I could control this better, but it's a kludge. FWIW.

Re: Pre/post send switch automation
Euphonix CS consoles could do that if I remember correctly. SSL/Neve I've never seen that.

Re: Pre/post send switch automation
Key word here was analog. We physically punched the pre/post switch when needed. And no in my experience (44 years!) there were no consoles that automated pre/post switches.

Re: Pre/post send switch automation
Yes, Harrison MPC could do it. It was Digital and it was Automated. Yes, I have seen it in my 44 years of Mixing. My mixing Partner Greg Watkins is always asking for it in Pro Tools. It would be handy.

Re: Pre/post send switch automation
Thank you Marti. I stand corrected, happily!! Yup it would come in really handy, esp for off screen dx.

Re: Pre/post send switch automation
+1 for an automateable pre/post switch.
It would make things so much easier and it's a tiny change surely?
