Extending the Length of Effect Chains
16.14.2
The 4x12 grid will suffice for the vast majority of long, complex routings. However, certain “Axe-aholics” require a
way to break this virtual sound barrier and exceed the number of columns available in the grid. The Feedback Send
and Return can be used for just this purpose. Place a
Send
block at the end of your first long chain and place the
Return
block at the beginning of another, setting the return
MIX
to “100%” and the level to 0 dB. Continue through
other effects to the output as illustrated below.
The real preset below with 19 effects hits just over 90% on the CPU load meter. Should’ve gone for 20!
(The CAB block
MODE
here is set to MONO LORES by the way. That’s a great way to get the most out of your CPU!)
