Best way to achieve dry/wet on the stereo out on plugins that doesn't have it

[linusminus]

There's a plugin I want to put on the master but only ever so slightly and it doesn't have its own dry/wet knob. The only option I can think of is to re-route everything into a bus prior to the stereo out channel and use it as a send on there but there's already so much routing going on that it'd be a BOTHER to set up. Is there really no other way? Wish Logic had its own native dry/wet control...

Two ideas:

1) There may be an AU effects hosting plug-in out there (didn't research though) with at least two parallel fx chains. That would do the trick for you.

2) Only using what's built-in to Logic:

a) Select all channels in your Mixer that have Stereo Out as Output

b) assign them all simultaneously to a free Bus

c) Set the output of the Aux that was created in b) to Stereo Out

d) Create a Send from that Aux to another free Bus 

e) Set the output of the Aux that was created in d) to Stereo Out

f) Insert your plug-in into the Aux that was created in d)

g) You can now control the wet level using the send level in the first Aux

Yeah, I guess that's what I'll have to do (2)! Thank you 🙌

Idea three: write a feedback report to Apple (you should to this additionally anyway, the folks at Apple do actually listen).
