General
– Pre / Post Option Defines where a Send will Split Off from the Track Signal
– i.e. Pre Fader means Before the Channel Fader and Post Fader After the Channel Fader
– Do Not Mix Pre / Post in a Mix Session, i.e.either Go with Pre or with Post to Avoid go in Circles and Make Unintentionally Level Changes
Post
– the Send is Affected by the Track Fader
– e.g. Turn Down the Track Fader to Zero and the Bus Send will be Silent
– i.e. Audio Signal is Sent to the FX Bus After the Track Volume Fader and is therefore Affected of Track Fader Volume Changes
– Post-Method is used for a Classic Reverb Send and Return Setup
– Signal is Split Off After the Channel Fader
– i.e. Lower Volume of Track will Lower the Send Amount as well or Increase the Track Level will Increase the Send by the same Amount
– this Method makes it Easier to Mix as it Preserves the Reverb Mix Balance, Once the the Send Amount is Defined
Pre
– the Send is Not Affected by the Track Fader
– e.g. Turn Down the Track Fader to Zero and the Bus Send will Stay at the Same Volume
– i.e. Audio Signal is Sent to the FX Bus Before the Track Volume Fader and is therefore Independent of Track Fader Volume Changes
– Signal is Split Off Before the Channel Fader
– Alter Channel Volume Fader of a Track Does Not Influence the Send Level
– so even if you Increase the Track Level, the Send Level Stays the same
– i.e. Amount of Aux Send Level Sets the Definitive Reverb Mix Balance
– this Method is Good for Independent Sub Mixes
