Route audio via send effects in MainStage
You use send effects when you want to isolate effect plug-ins from a channel strip’s signal
flow, or when you want to use the same effect on more than one channel strip. By creating
a send, you split the channel strip’s signal. The channel strip’s main signal continues its
route to the chosen output. The other part of the signal is routed down a parallel path, via
a bus to an aux channel strip. You use the Send Level knob to control the amount of signal
that is sent via the bus.
You use the Send pop-up menu to configure where in the channel strip’s signal the send
occurs, and to set the destination for the send’s parallel routing.
Open the Send pop-up menu
Use the Send pop-up menu to configure where the send occurs, and to set the destination
for the send.
• In MainStage, long-click the Send knob to open the Send pop-up menu.
Choose a destination for a send
• In MainStage, select a Bus from the submenu of the Send pop-up menu.
If you have named the aux channel strip that a bus is sending to, the name appears beside
the bus number. If the Bus you choose is not already assigned to an aux channel strip, a
new aux channel strip is created. After a send has a destination, you can double-click the
send to jump to the destination aux channel strip.
