Is it possible to solo a send channel with JUST that audio?

[mission]

I know at first this seems like a real obvious question but I've been trying to figure out how I can solo JUST the send/bus track without the originating track playing with it.

I want to fine tune reverb on the send but it's harder when the original track is playing over it.

Naw'mean?

You could create a new audio track, set the Audio In to the Send and do Monitor 'In'? Does that work?

Or maybe something can be achieved with the Pre/Post options to the right?

you can choose sends only as the output of the original track

i second jerryc "choose sends only as the output of the original track".

you can choose sends only as the output of the original track

then set the source track to "pre" and turn it's volume down

i second jerryc "choose sends only as the output of the original track".

but doesnt this defeat the purpose of parallel audio? i want to place a neve 1081 and 1176N compressor on a bus for drums and if i wanted that to be the sole track, then id place those effects on the main channel in the first place. I want both for character.

parallel compression is the way when you're using the 1176N...

@ Mike: Thanks, didnt really think of that. As a pre, the volume on the track wont disallow the send from being fed audio. That should work.
