What are "SENDS"?

Post by skyworm » Wed Jun 01, 2005 12:45 pm

There are 4 "Sends" knobs (A,B,C,D) at the bottom of the performance mode screen. What's their purpose?

U mean the send track ?

most of the time for effect purpose....

like u put a delay on send A and after u can send different amount of each track in.

seriously its essential to me

you can route your send back into your mix and record some new sequence with the delay ect...


hope it help you :)

Basically you can use the send and return tracks like an external effects unit. Load it up with some effects and try sending different tracks to it to see what you get.

Say you have simple delay in your send track. Send a little bit of track1 to it, and all of track2, you're killing two birds with one stone - or essentially you aren't using up so much of your CPU by having tons of plug-ins all over the place.

Keep it simple.
