Adjusting bus send levels

When a track is routed to a bus, you can control the level of tracks sent to the bus using the multipurpose slider. The multipurpose slider in the track header can function as a trim control that adjusts the overall send level of the track, or it can adjust bus send automation settings. For more information, see Adjusting bus automation levels on page 159.

1.Click the Automation Settings button and verify Show Automation Controls is not selected.

2.Click the label on the multipurpose slider and choose an assignable effects

chain from the menu.

3.Drag the FX fader to control the level of the track sent to each of the assignable FX chains that you have created. Dragging the fader to the left cuts the volume; dragging to the right boosts the volume.

You can hold Ctrl while dragging a fader to adjust the setting in finer increments, or double-click the fader to return it to 0 dB.

If multiple tracks are selected, the trim level of all selected tracks is adjusted.

Note: Bus sends are pre-volume by default. To change to post-volume, right-click the multipurpose slider and choose

from the shortcut menu.

For more information, see Adjusting a bus send level on page 186 or Assigning audio tracks to assignable effects chains on page 188.

Note: Multiple busses and assignable effects are only available in the full version of Vegas software.
