The destination will be either:
 An output channel strip, which represents a physical audio output (or output pair) of
your audio interface.
 An auxiliary channel strip (this is where you insert send effects).
For example, if send 1 of the left-hand channel strip is routed to auxiliary channel 4, the
fourth auxiliary channel strip will be shown. Clicking Send slot 2 on the left-hand
channel strip (routed to auxiliary 7) will update the right-hand channel to show the
seventh aux channel strip. Selection of a particular output in the Output slot of the left-
hand channel strip will display the chosen output channel strip to the right. If the left-
hand channel strip is simply routed to an output channel, the output channel strip is
shown by default.
You will perform most plug-in insertion, channel routing, and channel configuration
tasks as part of your creative workflow in the Arrange window. As such, you should use
the Arrange channel strips for all related functions discussed in this chapter, rather than
accessing the Mixer.
The Arrange channel strip (for the selected track) is a “mirror” of its counterpart in the
Mixer. You can view it as a remote control for this Mixer channel, if you like.
∏
Tip: As a shortcut, you can open the Mixer by double-clicking the icon of any track in
the Arrange track list. The corresponding channel strip (of the clicked track) will be
selected in the Mixer.
