Hopefully you all can refresh my memory.
I was told that some times, when I insert a plugin on an insert, it's
necessary to actually route the mouse with command+vo+F5, then literally
hold the shift key down while clicking the actual mouse on the insert's
popup menu. What is the context where I'd want to do that? What exactly
does that let us accomplish?
Second of all, I'm having something with my A U X inputs happen that I'm
finding a little weird. I had 2 mono audio tracks which I recorded backing
vocals on. One was a tinner backing, and the other was an alto backing. On
both these tracks, I interacted with the sends, then on send A, I set that
to a bus and sent to 1/2.
Then, I made a stereo A U X input track, and set the input to a bus, and
then to 1/2. I have the check box in preferences to send to infinent
unchecked. Now, on the auxiliary track, if I move to the level up down
slider, interact with it, and move it, I do hear the effects which I put the
the A U ex's tracks input move up and down in amount, as expected. The only
issue is, it's seeming like I'm really having to move that fader quite
significantly to get any audible change of effect. I didn't really start
noticing the reverb, for example becoming stronger until I moved the thing
from about 0DB to about 9 or 10DB, or on the other scale, from 0 to about -9
or -10DB. I thought that was really strange.
The other senario that's even more! odd, is I first before doing anything
set up my A U X track. On the input, I set that to a bus, then set it say
to 3/4. Now, I go back up to both the tinner track, and the alto backing
track, and I change the output paths to bus 3/4 instead of the output 1 on
my interface.
Now, if I turn up the fader on the A U X track, or for that mind crank it
down a ways, again, I do hear the effect, yes, but if I'm turning it down
for instance, I have to go from about 0DB to about -20 before I even hear
any difference. I'm not getting this at all, what's making that fader on
the A U X tracks be so insinsitive. If in my second sinareo, I go back to
the A U X track and set the output and the input both, not just the input to
bus 3/4 to match the output set on the two actual audio tracks, then the
backings do get way quieter, but still moving the fader of the A U X track
is hardly doing anything unless I move it in humungous chunks.
What's the deal with that? Am I doing something wrong?
Basically, I'm just trying to move the volume of those two tracks up and
down together at the same time.
I don't want to group them into a mix group, as doing that will effect the
actual volume as well of each individual audio track, and seeing I already
have them properly balanced, I really don't wanna do that. I just wanna now
adjust the over all level that eventually will be funneled down to my
master.
Hopefully that makes sense. I thought I was doing this correctly, and for
the most part, it looks like I am, it just seems that the A U X faders are
being dumb and really taking a shove in order to do much.
Any idea what on earth's gowen on?
Chris.
