Send effects
• The handling and operation of insert plug-ins for FX channels is the same as for
audio channels.
See “Routing an audio channel or bus through insert effects” on page 229.
• You can adjust level, pan and EQ for the send in the Channel Settings window.
This can also be done in the MixConsole or in the Inspector.
Making settings for the sends
The next step is to set up a send for an audio channel and route it to the FX channel.
This can be done in the MixConsole, in the Channel Settings window, or in the
Inspector for the audio track. The example below shows the Channel Settings
window, but the procedure is similar for all the sections:
1. Click the “e” button for an audio channel to bring up its Channel Settings window.
Each of the sends has the following controls:
- An On/Off button for activating/deactivating the effect
- A send level slider
2. Open the selector for a send by clicking the arrow icon in an empty slot, and select
the desired routing destination.
- If the first item on this menu (“No Bus”) is selected, the send is not routed
anywhere.
- Items called “FX 1”, “FX 2” etc. correspond to existing FX tracks. If you renamed
an FX track (see
“Adding an FX channel track” on page 235), that name will
appear on this menu instead of the default.
- The menu also allows for routing a send directly to output busses, separate output
bus channels or Group channels.
• Cubase only: You can apply or remove a send to or from all the selected channels
at once by holding down [Shift]-[Alt]/[Option] and selecting the desired effect from
any of the effect slots.
3. Select an FX channel track.
Now the send is routed to the FX channel.
4. Activate the On/Off button for the send.
5. Click and drag the send level slider to a moderate value.
The send level determines how much of the signal from the audio channel is routed
to the FX channel via the send.
