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.
Creating Monitor Submixes
Route track sends to one or more Auxiliary In-
put tracks to monitor submixes in a studio envi-
ronment. For example, you may want to pro-
vide the bassist with a drum submix for tracking
a new bass part.
To create a monitor submix:
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 Output Path
selector, select the output path (not the main
outputs) for monitoring the mix.
Adjust the Auxiliary Input track fader to control
the volume for the monitor mix.
