Pre/Post Toggle issue in Drum Rack Sends.

Post by c7n » Sat Jul 04, 2015 7:18 pm

Possible Bug Found Ableton 9.1.9

I'm going through the process of setting up a new base template for myself and I noticed what I believe is an error with the Pre/Post Toggle settings for sends.

In all regular and group tracks the Pre/Post Toggle works perfectly fine.

However when you go into Drum Racks > create a send effect > assign those send effects to send to a Return Channel....

Then the Drum Rack Sends only send audio"Post" Fader Level, irregardless of the Global Pre/Post toggle setting. If they have their own Pre/Post Toggle I completely missed that in the documentation.

Let me know if this is expected functionality for some reason. A work around is to go to a slightly more complicated routing of creating separate tracks for each drum pad, but obviously it's better to just have the drum rack adhere to the Pre/Post Toggle settings... Or get their own settings if they don't already have them.

best,

Chris Winn

So, my wanting to know the same thing lead me to this forum post from... over a year ago...

... Did you ever manage to figure this one out?

One workaround is to create return chain A that feeds its audio to another return chain B. Use the send on return chain A to your effects and make sure the volume for return chain A is always up. Then use the volume of return chain B as your "dry" volume. That way, the send from A is always prefader.
