Send effects
• On the toolbar of the Channel Settings window, select the FX channel from the
Channel Name selector and adjust its effect return level.
By adjusting the return level, you control the amount of the signal sent from the FX
channel to the output bus.
6. If you want the signal to be sent to the FX channel before the audio channel’s volume
fader in the MixConsole, right-click on a send and select “Move to Pre-Fader”.
A triangle in the lower left corner of a send indicates that “Move to Pre-Fader” is
activated.
Setting a send
to pre-fader
mode
Normally you want the effect send to be proportional to the channel volume (post-
fader send). The picture below shows where the sends are “tapped” from the signal in
pre and post-fader mode:
Ö Use the channel’s Mute button to determine whether a send in pre-fader mode is
affected. This is done with the “Mute Pre-Send when Mute” option in the Preferences
dialog (VST page).
Ö Cubase only: The FX channels themselves have sends, too.
Bypassing the sends
• In the MixConsole, you can click on the lit Sends button for a channel in the
Channel Racks section to bypass all its sends.
When the sends are bypassed, the button is yellow. Click the button again to
enable the sends.
• To bypass all sends for a track, click the “Bypass Sends” button.
This button can be found on the right of the header of the Sends section in the
Inspector. It lights up in yellow to indicate that the inserts of this track are
bypassed. In the track list and in the Channel Racks section in the MixConsole, the
Sends button will also light up in yellow.
