routing

is there any way of routing an insert to a send? So that you get the processed insert signal to a send for instance if you put a stutter effect or something on an insert track, and you midimap the on/of button of it to a pad, but you'd like a little tail on it when you switch it off. I can achieve it via bus-channels but that clutters up my screen and then I'd have to reprogram a lot of fx.
Thanks in advance for any tips

You can route sound almost anywhere you like. An audio track or midi track (when it has an instrument) can easily route its output somewhere else. For example you can easily set "Audio to" to 'Sends only' and then raise the dial of the return channel to which you want to send your data.
Sorry, used to working in Cubase and Nuendo, what I mean by insert is an effect that I put straight on the track, not on a return bus. So the point is that I can do what I want by just routing the sound from each track via another audiotrack - but since I was an idiot when I made and midimapped all the fx I was hoping there was some short cut out of that.
I guess it can be done with the chain thing, actually.
Thanks anyways

Anyway; what you want to achieve is relatively easy too. Add a new audio track, put the audio effect you wish to use on it (and I suggest naming the track appropriately as well).
Now pull up the i/o section (click the round icon at the right named 'i-o') and set the "Monitor" of this track to "In".
Now you're basically home free. If another track provides audio output then simply check the "Audio to" drop down (this assumes that you still have the i/o section up) and find the previously setup track in there.
The main difference between this approach and using the return tracks is that you'll get a 100% 'wet ratio' all the time.
Hope this helps!
Thanks bro! It did help
You're a star!
