seperate effects to overall mix

[dizaster]

Hi all,
I'm a bit of a newbie to sends so was wondering if anyone can help me out.
I have an extrnal controller to dj with and i would like to be able to assign 3 different fx each to a knob. i want the effect to apply stright onto the entire mix not a specific track, how can this be done.

BAsically at the moment i have 3 knobs on each channel taking fx from return a,b,c . I'm trying to get 3 knobs to work on the whole mix. any help would be greatly appreciated, have a gig in 2 weeks and wish to go live completely.

thanks
Diz

You could send you whole mix to a new track (set output from each individual track to that one) and then control the sends on that one.

hi, ideally i'd like to get the effects direct on the master output, is that even possible?

Yes, you can just put them there. Then control the dry/wet mix instead of send level.

But then your sound will be processed sequentially by each type of process, first effect A, then B etc. This might be perfectly fine of course.

The advantage of using sends is that each effect will operate on the dry sound and you can set up an effect chain för each send.

Good suggestions, but how might one control the mix level of an EQ effect, seeing as EQ eight has no dry/wet option?

you can always create your own dry/wet by making a effectrack, creating two chains, one with your on/off effect and one clean. You are then able to map their relation by clicking chain, assigning the two chains to their respective side of the 128 steps of velocity(midi-knob) and fading them like a dry/wet.
