Like your track but need more punch? Use a send A different order of events would yield a different sound.Ģ. We often use delay on an aux, in the context of a send, but here it’s better not to: the order of events is delay, stereo EQ, and then distortion. Or perhaps as you work you find the distortion works better when it comes after the delay and EQ-the slightly darker left hits the saturation differently from the brighter right, for example. You might use a combination of stereo delay and stereo EQ to achieve this effect. Say you have a background vocal that needs a bit of saturation, and you want to hear it in stereo, surrounding the main vocal.
Aux audio which is right and left series#
But if the effect is meant to be used in a series and will receive further processing on the track level, it’s wiser to use the effect as insert even in parallel operation (as in, a chorus with a wet/dry control). You send some of your track to a reverb aux, and dial in as much as needed. Reverb, delay, compression, modulation, distortion-these are some effects that often wind up on auxiliary channels. Will the track receive further processing? Use an insert
To send or not to send? That is the question! Here are some answers:ġ. Before we dive in, make sure you have a solid understanding of audio signal flow within a DAW. Still, it’s good to have guidelines, so you can better know what to do. There are no hard and fast rules-this must be said outright. When I’ve taken a peek at their session, I usually see the telltale culprit: twenty or so reverbs used as inserts, often with the same settings (one for the kick, one for the snare top, one for the snare bottom, etc).įor the audio newcomer, it’s not always obvious when to use an effect as an insert, and when to use it on a send. With a send, you take the track, and you route a sort of copy of the track to an auxiliary channel, and put your effects there, on that channel. So I have my response teed up: “Are you using your effects as sends, or as inserts?” And more often than not, they respond, “What’s the difference?”Īn insert is like putting a plug-in directly on the track. “You gotta help me-my CPU overloads all the time!” I hear this a lot.
