Knowledge Wednesday

Put your effects such as reverb and delay on aux channel or a buss.

This is quite a common practice in mixing but not everybody is aware of it so here are the key benefits of sending your audio tracks to effects on separate aux channels or busses.

1. It gives you independent control over the effect level

2. You can send multiple audio tracks to the same effect

3. You can automate the effect level and parameters independently

4. Sending to the aux or buss pre fader means you can have a fully processed dry signal and send the raw unprocessed signal to the effect where you can apply processing specific to that effect

5. It saves on computer processing power because you aren't loading multiple instances of the same effect

If you aren't already incorporating this into your work flow, try it out on your next mix and see the benefits for yourself.
