Send and Return Submixes with
External Devices
To create an effects return submix with an
external device:
1 Assign each track’s main output to your main
mix outputs.
2 Assign a send (mono or stereo) and set the
send destinations on the source tracks to the
output path connected to the external device.
Configure the sends for pre- or post-fader, as
needed.
3 Choose Track > New.
4 Specify the track type (Aux Input) and format
(stereo or mono), then click Create.
5 From the Auxiliary Input track’s Input Path se-
lector, select the input path connected to the ex-
ternal device.
6 From the Auxiliary Input track’s Output Path
selector, select an output path (main outputs).
7 Adjust the individual track faders to balance
the dry (unprocessed) tracks.
The amount of effect is controlled by the level of
the Send Level fader or the Auxiliary Input Vol-
ume fader.
