Best way to get post-fader sends for tracks & instrument rack
Posted: Sun Jul 25, 2021 10:13 am
Hi all, still learning Ableton and I have a routing dilemma.
My projects are set up simply:
Track 1 contains an Instrument rack that contains the instruments that I'm playing live (bass, keys, etc)
Tracks 2+ contain my backing track sequences (ie. drums and guitar)
What I need to do is route everything, including different instruments in the rack, to different outputs, ie:
Drums: 3/4
Bass: 5
E-Gtr: 7/8
Keys: 9/10
I can use the Ext Effect Send to accomplish this, but that effect is only pre-fader, so I lose control of the output levels, which doesn't work (I need to be able to control the volumes of different tracks in real time).
IMO this is a deficiency in the External Send plugin. Professional mixers have a Pre/Post fader button that solves this problem. Is there a workaround? TIA.
