As the diagram shows, the new MusicReverb bus represents an alternate version of the
Music track audio signal. Once created, this bus appears as a row in the Timeline and a
channel strip in the Mixer. It becomes a resource to draw from during the final mix. Rather
than having to tweak the effects settings of individual tracks in the mix, you can simply
adjust the volume fader on the MusicReverb bus to increase or decrease the amount of
reverb on that music track.
By default, new sends are post-fader sends. This means the signal is tapped after the
track’s output fader. In this example, adjusting the Volume slider on the Music track would
have a direct effect on the music level in the MusicReverb bus.

In contrast, a pre-fader send taps the track signal before a track’s output fader. You can
change a send to a pre-fader send.
