3 Drag the Send knob next to the slot to set the amount of the signal sent to the bus.
To add a concert-wide effect to a bus:
1 In the Patch List, select the concert.
The busses in the concert appear in the Channel Strips area along with the concert-
level channel strips.
2 On the bus, click one of the Insert slots and choose an effect from the menu.
After you add an effect to a bus, you can edit the effect as you would any channel strip
effect, by double-clicking it to open the plug-in window, and then adjusting
parameters in the plug-in window. You can add multiple effects to a bus, and adjust the
level and pan of the bus using the controls on the bus.
You can also add concert-wide effects to a bus at the patch level if Show Signal Flow
Channel Strips is active. For information about showing signal flow channel strips in the
Channel Strips area, see “Showing Signal Flow Channel Strips” on page 55.
Using Busses to Control Channel Strip Output
You can also send the output of multiple channel strips to a bus and then use the bus
to control the volume level and pan position of the channel strips. Sending the output
to a bus is also useful for adding EQ or compression to a group of patches.
To send the output of a channel strip to a bus:
1 In the Patch List, select the patch you want to control using a bus.
2 In the channel strip, click the Output slot and choose a bus from the menu.
When you send channel strip output to a bus, the volume fader of the channel strip
controls how much of the signal is sent to the bus.
To control the output of channel strips using a bus:
1 In the Patch List, click the concert.
The concert is selected. The busses added to the concert appear in the Channel Strips
area along with the concert-level channel strips.
2 Drag the Volume fader on the bus to adjust the volume level of the overall bus output.
3 Drag the Pan knob on the bus to adjust the pan position of the overall bus output.
When you control the output of multiple channel strips using a bus, their relative
volume levels and pan positions are preserved, but the overall volume level and pan
position are modified by the bus Volume fader and Pan knob.
