Moving Master in Drum Rack Without Affecting Reverb Levels

Post by NewFutureFantasy » Sun Sep 29, 2024 5:54 pm

I have recently discovered Ableton's Drum Rack. One of the many things I like about it is the ability to create effects sends, and also to send these busses to the master effects busses. Using this feature I put the master reverb in varying amounts on the indivdual drums, for example lots of reverb on the snare and very little or none on the kick.
I like to use the Drum Rack when I live stream. But I have found an issue that perhaps someone can solve. Sometimes I like to fade all of the drums in or out for musical effect. But when I do this with the Drum Rack's master fader the overall level of the reverb returns on each drum stays the same. So I can fade the drums to zero but still have all the reverb from the snare audible, for example.
Clearly this is not desirable.
Is there a way that I can make the reverb levels follow the master fader of the Drum Rack.
Thanks.

Use the main Track Volume fader instead of the DR's bus Vol? Or if you have other effects after the DR, add a Utility device inbetween and use its Gain control.
