Create sends by dragging effects to channel strips

You can create a send by simply dragging an effect to an audio track, instrument track, aux track, or bus. To do so, drag an effect from the Plug-in Browser to the Sends area of a channel strip in the Inspector or Console view. Doing so creates a pre fader send and a new bus that contains that effect. To create an aux track instead of a bus, hold down the ALT key while dragging the effect.

To insert an effect in a track or bus

1.	Select the desired channel strip and show its Sends section in the Track Inspector or Console view

2.	In the Browser, click the PlugIns button to show the Plug-in Browser.

3.	Click the Audio FX button to show audio effects.

4.	Do one of the following:

To create a send to a new bus. Drag the effect to the channel strip’s Sends section.

To create a send to a new aux track. Hold down the ALT key and drag the effect to the channel strip’s Sends section.

The Insert Send button shows a red outline when you drag an effect to the Sends section.

 

Tip: You can use quick grouping to create sends on all selected tracks simultaneously. To do so, select the desired tracks, then hold down the CTRL key while dragging an effect to the Sends section on any selected track.
