FX CHAIN request : what about A dry/wet control ?

Well, it's all in the title... what would you think about adding a dry/wet control in the FX chain...also, it would be a quick fix for all the plugs that don't have this control, and make easier parallel processing...

I don't know about this. It seems that you can map to dry/mix control already. As to if a plugin doesn't have one that could be a disaster. If the one plugin was not controlled and the others were. If you want this you could use a send.

When I read this idea that was the first thing that came to mind.  Some plugins already have a wet/dry mix control and if another was added at the end of the chain the possibility of not really knowing what level of an original dry signal was mixed in would exist.  Would it bother me if it were an option? Probably not, just not sure I would find a use for it.  I'd probably, as John pointed out, just created a send from the dry track to a bus with the FX Chain I'm using to get the desired amount of processed and unprocessed material I want in the mix.



It's possible I'm missing something in how I'm assuming this would work and the benefits of it, but as always, individual mileage may vary.

You can just make a bus with what ever Pro channel effects you want and then bus the track or tracks to it. This way you can control the wet and dry percentage.

that's something I've never been able to correlate for myself.  maybe someone can help me with that.

how does the wet/dry mix knob percentage correlate to a send amount to a bus?

if I send 50% of the signal to a reverb bus, for example, and send 100% of the dry signal to the master, is this the same as a 25% Wet/Dry knob?  or is that the same thing as a 75% Wet/Dry knob?  or is it something completely different and I am missing it completely?
