Is it best to put a effect on top of the title track and would this be a send effect where by its there all the time and really have no control over it..
I noticed by putting a effect in the return that I could control it by the a and b buttond I take it the sends on the return let you give as much effect as you want and on the track you can also apply as much as you want as well.
Is the a and b mono and stereo then
Sends and Returns
is the insert at the top of the audio track then and the sends on the returns to the right of the audio bit confused here doesn t really say in the manualSocketeer wrote:Its up to you if you want to put an effect on the master track. Maybe a little compression.
Use Dynamics on inserts Reverbs/Delays on sends.
A and B is for return track A or B, its the mix levels for the returns, both stereo.
Yes, the inserts for any channel are the effect plugins which are attached directly to that channel (reverb, compression, delay, etc). Once you insert an effect to a channel it is only available to that channel and pretty much all the time (unless you use control changes to turn it on/off).
The better alternative for generic effects such such reverb and delay is to insert the effect plugin on a return channel, then send audio to it for effecting by using the 'Send' pots on each channel (A, B, etc)
For example, if you wanted to add reverb to 3 of your channels, you could set up one reverb unit on Return Channel A, then turn up 'Send A' on each of the 3 channels you want effecting.
A good way of visualising this is to imagine the mixing desk is a bunch of water pipes with clear water flowing through each channel. You want to add some colour to several channels of the water, so you add yellow dye into the pipe called 'Return A'. You then route some of the water from each of the channels into 'Return A' by turning on the 'Send A' tap for each of the channels. You get the idea!

Thanks for the reply
i am at work now so i cant really see the software
You said

The ``a``` and ```b``` knobs on each return channel what do they do I know `a` allows you to send a certain ammount of effect to the audio does `b`` do the same or does that go to a different channel
I take it that the sends on the audio allow you to open up the effect a bit more of what the return is giving you.Why `a` `b`` `c``` knobs..
Like I say I am at work and new to the software thatnks guys.

If there are Sends on the return channels (?) (I'm not in front of the software either so I can't check right now) then sending the return channel A back to send A will create a feedback loop. You will be sending the return back to itself infinitely and unless you have a creative reason for doing so it should be avoided!

Yes, A and B (and C etc.) are different tracks. So you can send some sound to the reverb and some to the delay etc.
Listen to Lovin Teris at Soundclick!
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..I am gettting all confused here.............Right I am at home is there a read up some where in the manual as I am getting confused about sends,returns and and how to utilize them........Lovin Teris wrote:Yes, A and B (and C etc.) are different tracks.

Sorry I meant the a and b sends not the ones below the track delay........I cant get my head round it its quite confusing to start with but hopefully some one can help a numpty out..melocoton wrote:Just to clarify, you mentioned the A & B buttons: Those are buttons that assign a track to the crossfader. They don't have anything to do with the sends so just ignore those for now.

Right if I put a return a track in this will show up in the audio track as a send.If I now open up the b send on the b return this gives me more of the effect and if I close the send on the b track i have less effect
Is this right
each return track has a corresponding send 'amount' knob... that is, how much of that track you want to send to the return channel.
