Bro, I didn't know those -inf were related to the returns and that you could add more to the track.. I feel a bit stupid but also really hyped that I now know what should really be lesson 1 information . Thanks Andrew

I use return channels all the time for ambience effects. You can automate the amount of dry signal you want to send to the return channel so I like creating certain delays and reverbs that ring out extra long and then draw a square-shaped automation equal to the length of the sample i want to apply the effect to. If that makes sense. So you get efficient, cohesive one shot effects

thanks for the videos - slow and clear explanations as usual. Do you only ever make trance (nothing against trance btw) ?

Interesting topic. Is it still better to use many sends/returns as in your example (assuming they are needed) vs. per channel insert effects? Also, is it possible to use a hardware effect (i.e., a delay pedal) as a return, maybe via external audio instrument - but have it available as a return effect?

Hello! Thanks for the video! I have one question: You are about to record some vocals and you have some vocal tracks (lead vocals and vocal layers) that require the same default plugins to get started. For example, you might have a standardized plugin chain like EQ, DeEsser, Compressor, Saturator, Reverb and Delay with default settings for every vocal track you produce. To save CPU, instead of inserting this plugin chain in each vocal track, people usually suggest using a Return track and inserting the plugin chain there. Then, it's advised to increase the Send level of the vocal tracks to let the audio pass through the Return track and then to the Master. However, unless the output of the vocal tracks changes from Master to Send Only, you will have double audio going through the master (the audio from the vocal tracks and the return track). You could also group the vocals and send them to the return track, which leads to the same issue but with less flexibility in the individual tracks. My question is what is the best practice in the above example, considering the need for further effects per track down the road, as well as gain staging and mixing overall? Thank you!

I've got the same question, have you found an answer?

@cordlesswire 3 жыл бұрын

is there a way to get just the wet sound, without any of the dry sound? for instance, if you applied a massive delay with a lot of bouncing around, but you dont want to hear any of the dry sound rather just the wet sound, is that possible? i get that the dry/wet knob would do that, but then its too much of the effect.

@DaddaPsy 3 жыл бұрын

You can set up a parallel chains by grouping and inserting a dry version of your chain and then, on chain 2, setting up the exact same but with a chain of effects with 100%. Then you mix the levels of it. This can be done directly on a channel

I just want to learn how to get reverb while u record your own vocal through headphones, but not in recorded track, the recorded track should be raw. Please help, or if its possible. make a tutorial

@muzdawajofficial1838 2 жыл бұрын

you can just copy - paste the effect from track to tack, it gives you more freedom in mixing, right

@kenmenpiano 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, but it take up more CPU resources. Plus, if you know a bunch of them should be the same and decide later to change the setting, it's a pain to change all of them individually. It's nice to have options and depending on your workflow decide what works for you.

@T_Zubaro 2 жыл бұрын

What I wonder is, does it even make sense to use it? Couldn't you just turn the WET / DRY knob to where you want it of the reverb in the normal midi?

@kenmenpiano 2 жыл бұрын

It makes more sense once you're sending a lot of tracks to it. Think of it as an easy-to-access automation knob for the reverb or whatever effect you have it being sent to. Also, if you want to make a sweeping change to the reverb/effect, it's much easier to change it in that one location rather than going to each individual track.
