Using automation on an effect in a return track...

[zerocrossing]

Hey,

I've got Looper in a send with dBlue's glitch after it and I want to automate the glitch amount over time... but I can't make a clip in a return track. Is there some other way of doing this? Thanks.

Instead of sending it's output straight to the master, set the send channel to go to another regular audio channel, set monitor on that channel to "IN", and put the FX in that channel, which then goes to the master.

This way you can use the send knobs to decide which channels get FX'd, while retaining the ability to use dummy clips.

Thanks, that'll work for me. Seems odd the send tracks don't have this.
