aux sends

[pmagenta]

hello,

from a track, i sent out a bus to an aux channel and opened a compressor. i set the compressor with a side chain and used peak to get that heavy pumping effect. however, when i send any audio to that buss channel the compressor does not really pump as much as when i open a compressor on that channel.

 

same with a aux channel with a low cut equalizer, when i send audio to that bus you barely notice its cutting the low's.

 

sorry could not explain it better.

That's probably because the channel you are sending from is also outputting to your stereo-out channel.

 

My advice is to read up about the signal routing in the manual, particularly the difference between channel sends and channel output.

 

There are already quite a lot of threads about this here, a search should bring them up.

It's nearly impossible to understand your routing from your description. Can you post a screenshot?

You're using sends instead of the outputs of the channels? If yes then you're doing it wrong!
