What I was looking at is how people set up their 'chains' with buses etc. People have mentioned putting one effect on a send bus and another on the return bus and I was wondering what the return bus was. I set up a project template (the 8-bus audio mixing one) and saw each track had about 4+ send buses in the track pane, and in the bus pane were the corresponding buses, but nothing on it appeared to be 'returning' - they all went to the master.
I didn't assume that the master bus was the 'return', because natuarally if they all go to that bus then the effect on the master is going to be applied to the entire mix. So I guses what I was thinking/querying is whether people set up another bus to put on any eq/filter on which
then goes to the master. in other words, say on Track 1:
1) Track has a Send Bus to Bus 1
2) Bus 1 has a reverb effect, and outputs to Bus 2
3) Bus 2 has an eq or filter and outputs to the master
Therefore creating a chain, where Bus 2 would by default be a return bus as it goes to the master/final output signal.
Or have I misunderstood something?
