Live 6 - sends on return tracks

enomis · Post by **enomis** » Wed Oct 11, 2006 2:46 am

I have just recently started using Live 6 (I have been working with Live since Live 4)...

I noticed that the send controls on the return tracks are greyed out. How do I activate them so I can send audio from one return track to another?

I am on a Mac Laptop g4 running os 10.3.9

thanks

Control-click / Right click: Activate Send.

You can save your template set with the sends enabled if you like.

This new Activate/Deactivate option is cool IMO, because it lets you temporarily shut off sends without upsetting your automation.

right click, or ctrl + click on the send knob.

choose enable send, or enable all sends.

try right clicking on em (or whatever the mac equivalent is...). they've allowed us to disable/enable sends to save cpu.

oh man, i just realized this is the same with the sends on the channels too...
a dubmixers dream!
i always loved dubmixing on midas heritage consoles because you can set your level and switch the send on or off by pushing the pot (rotary pot/switch combo).
now i have a new use for the bcr push encoders.
bravo!!!!!

Hold up there, D K, I think the Activate/Deactivate is only accessible from the context menu, and not mappable to MIDI...

crap, you're right.

just tried to assign it.
i was fooled by the edit midi map which shows up in the drop down menu.
just got my version of 6, need to read up on it.
oh well, there's always the wishlist....
that feature would be dope!!!

ya know, i have a console for that type of function. and i use it alot.
but i'd also love to see that in Live.

right now i just assign a key command with min/max values to the sends.

you could just assign a button to the send and then limit the min max to 0 and ?, if you want it to go half way up then put it to like max 60 or so and if you want it to go a quarter way up then put it to max 30 or so.
