3 Set the output level of the send. You can set
the send level to zero by Option-clicking the
send fader.
Creating a Return
Auxiliary Inputs can be created to act as return
channels for busses, as well as for inputs from
hardware sources.
To create a return:
1 Choose File > New Track and specify 1 mono
or stereo Auxiliary Input, then click Create.
2 Click the Input Selector of the Auxiliary Input
and set it to the bus path you assigned to the
sends on the source tracks.
3 Click the Output Selector of the Auxiliary In-
put and choose an output path.
Master Faders
Master Faders are used as output and bus mas-
ters, and can control any mono or stereo output
or bus path in a session. You can then use the
controls on the Master Fader to control the vol-
ume, solo and mute, or apply inserts to those
paths.
When you are mastering your final mix, it is rec-
ommended that you use a dither plug-in on the
Master Fader controlling your main outputs (for
more information on dither, see the Pro Tools
Reference Guide).
You can configure the default level for new
sends to be
–∞ or at unity gain (0 dB) by
enabling or disabling the Sends Default To
“–INF” option under the Operation
Preferences.
