Ableton Forum

Hi all,

Yes, when I am playing a track in my scene, even if I dont have any instrument in my SENDS in Ableton, when I activate them, it increases the volume of the clips in that track (the one I activate the SEND)

It works the same way if I put a PIngPOng delay for example. It will increase the volume of it!

Please, tell me how to compensate this, I DONT want the volume increase that my SENDS process in the clips.

Thank you VERY MUCH!!
Alex.

Hi Alex,

When you say 'activate' do you mean turning the send control on the individual track?

If you send a signal to a return that does not contain any effects then you will be hearing a duplicated dry signal - hence the volume increase. The duplicated signal is flowing through the return track and not your individual audio or midi track. It doesn't make sense to send a signal to an empty return so the solution here is simple, don't do it

If you do have an effect sitting in the return, such as a ping pong delay then ensure the dry/wet control is turned all the way to the right - 100% wet. Otherwise some of your original signal will again be duplicated and you will notice an increase in volume. Even with 100% wet, if you have a delay set to a time where is repeats on top of the dry signal (ie a 1/4 note delay on a 4/4 kick drum) you will again hear the volume increase.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

thanks Keith!

You got it. Thank you for the explanation. It totally makes sense

Good luck with Quantize, I sure going to consider the course
