RE: [xl7] What am I doing wrong with the efx?

2008-10-02 by Andrew

I have a couple of outboard efx processors that I like to use... so for instance, if I want to route my snares and cymbals to one of my out-board reverb processors through submix 1... I select those tracks (which are on their corresponding midi channels) and route them to send 2.  I get the dry audio from those tracks/channels at submix 1, but the dry audio also shows up at the main-output as well.  I understand that if I turn the send amout for send 2 past 0, that I should be hearing the wet audio at the mains, and the dry on the sub... but if it is set to 0, then I should only get the dry on the sub, and nothing at the main....but no matter what I do, I can't get it out of the main.  And whenever I switch efx modes, (to apply efx to only 1 preset) the efx saved in whatever preset is assigned to the selected channel applies it's efx settings to every preset on every channel.  Confusing, huh?

When I bypass the effects, as expected, there are no effects... cool.  However when I try to only run effects on one preset, I end up hearing that presets stored effects setting on every channels preset... and whenever I set it up to apply its effects to all presets through the sends, it works pretty much the way I think it should, except that whatever I set to sends 2 and 3 (sub mix 1 and 2) also shows up at the main output, even with those send levels all set to 0.  I guess what I'm trying to accomplish is, if I set it up to only run its effects on one preset, that the effects only appear on that preset, and not on all of them... or if I set it up to apply its effects to everything through the sends, that whatever I route to sends 2 and 3 will only out-put the dry audio at the 2 sub-mixes if I set their send levels to 0.  Any ideas?
