Not sure about the unlimited amount of Sends you can actually create for the same channel strip...As I understand it: each track can have an unlimited number of sends but 1-3 is normal. The amount of each send is shown by clicking within the circle next to the bus name and moving the mouse up or down.
By here, we are talking about the Aux channel strip.Upon choosing a new bus, a new aux track is created. The reverb can be set here and the track sends will use these reverbs. Other effects and filters may also be set here including the compressor.
I think that "grouping" your channel strips would also allow pre-fader Send setting. The Group feature of the channel strips allows mainly to ease the manipulation of several channel strips with just one finger (the one on your mouse for instance). In a previous post where you point at your mixer screen capture, the Group 2 and 3 set on the channel strip Ins15 and Aux1, don't seem to be of any use.Under the instrument number, the circles indicate the right (+) or left (-) stereo panning. Underneath that is the volume levels and these can be changed separately or all at once by choosing a group of instruments as long as they are all set to "post fader". Of course, these volume events can be changed by changing the CC7 controller in the MIDI list.
??:eeek:??And in the inspector, every track has as it's input bus 1 and output is stereo out.
These settings all seem correct as they all show up in the proper auxs.
What you need to achieve here, I assume, is to set the input of your Audio track channel strip to receive the result of the whole mix or each of the channel strips. In short you want the sum of these. For this, you have to Send (or set the Output) of each of your tracks and current Aux channel strips to a new Bus (i.e. Bus10) and then set your Audio track channel strip Input to that new bus (Bus10). Adjusting the View of your Mixer to show the Input and Output slots would ease the understanding of that process. However, considering that you already have 2 Audio channel strips (#1 and #22), it would be a good idea to decide in advance which will be used as the destination track channel strip. It would also be essential to disable the Sends currently used on the final Audio channel strip destination, in order to avoid feedback!But I can't record these settings so far to a single audio track. Yes, bouncing them works fine but, assuming these settings are correct, how do I set up the Audio 1 track for recording these multiple tracks into one track making sure the correct reverbs and balances are transmitted as they are in the regular bounce protocol?
Thanks, Atlas!Not sure about the unlimited amount of Sends you can actually create for the same channel strip...As I understand it: each track can have an unlimited number of sends but 1-3 is normal.

The circle next to the Send slot is indeed a potentiometer to adjust the amount of the sound of that channel strip that is sent to the assigned Bus. Additionally you have the option to set the potentiometer to act before the volume fader (in which case pulling down the volume fader will not decrease the sound sent to the Send assigned Bus).

Like the track channel strip, the Aux channel strip, has Input, Output, Inserts, Send slots. Also a volume fader, a pan pot; stereo/mono, Mute and Solo switches; etc... In other words, the Aux channel strip is pretty much the same thing than a track channel strip. The key concept here is the difference between track and channel strip. These are two different things that are independent from one another. A track is what you see in the Arrange window. Each track there is assigned to a channel strip.

Each channel strip (track ones and Aux ones) can be set a different Input and / or Output... In order to set the proper routing of the sounds it is important to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve.

I don't know your level of advancement or where your interests lay but Mitchel's tutorials might be a place to start.I've made some progress on this by viewing a few YouTube tutorials
Edgold,
Would you be kind enough to post the links to these YouTube tutorials? I need all the help I can get. Thanks!
I think that these will be a good place to start for what you mention. But what I fail to understand is how to set up a track for recording and keeping those effects (especially reverb) in the final recording. Bouncing to a file is fine but to a track is disappointing.Thank you; I'll check them out! At the moment, I specifically need tutorials on using bus/aux/send for adding effects and also how to properly use compression/limiting when recording a lead vocal. Thanks!
In your mixer setup picture, you did not enable the view of the Input or the Ouput slots of your channel strips. To ease your Input/Output settings of your channel strips you should enable the view of same. You should end up with channel strips looking like those posted here. Note the presence of the Input and Output slots display below the I/O label. In order to do so, in your Mixer window, in the View pull-down menu (right beside the Edit and Options ones, not the blue buttons to the top right), make sure that you have ticked the I/O item.No, I've not been able to set up for recording to a track and getting much reverb if any at all. "Bouncing" to a file works fine and that's the only thing that seems to work, I don't know why.
Thanks Pete, I understand what you are saying but, in that case, if all the auxiliaries are the same setting and the amount of reverb is controlled solely by the sends, why would you need more than one aux?
Or would you set up the others for plugins other than reverb?
