Aux Returns Tab
In addition to insert effects, GigaStudio 4 offers aux (send) effects. Each time you insert an effect, it requires a
certain amount of CPU power. Aux effects allow inserting a single effect to process signals from multiple
channels simultaneously, thus conserving CPU power. Example: Suppose you want to apply a reverb effect to
three DSP Station channels. Although you could use a reverb as an insert effect in all three channels, a more
efficient option is to insert the reverb in an Aux bus, then send some signal from each DSP Station channel to
this bus. The reverb would process this mix of signals, then return it to the DSP station via an Aux Return
channel.
We’ve already covered how to send signals to Aux Effects in the section Aux Send Controls. Now we’ll
describe what to do with those signals.
Clicking on the Aux Returns tab shows the eight Aux Bus channel strip pairs.
These are similar to, but simpler than, the main DSP Station channels. The narrow/wide view, fader, output,
INS button, insert effects counter, and insert functions work similarly to those in the main DSP Station
channels.
