180 CHAPTER 4 Advanced Sequencing Techniques which you want to apply the selected effect to the same bus number on which the aux channel is receiv- ing (in DP and PT the sends are located below the inserts in the channel strip of each track from the mix window); now by raising the send level you can control the amount of dry signal that is sent through the bus to the aux channel, meaning to the effect. Use the fader of the aux channel to control the overall vol- ume (return) of the effect. In LP the auxiliary channels are added automatically whenever you assign an empty Aux send of an audio track to an empty bus. This makes using effects as aux send a very intuitive and quick process. Simply click on one of the free Aux sends of a track, select a free bus and automatically a new Aux track will be created that receives from the same bus you selected in the previous step. Now insert on the Aux track the effect you want to use and trim the send knobs on the audio tracks to decide how much signal you want to be affected. In CU you have to create an Effect track (CU terminology for an Aux track) by selecting Project Add Track FX Channel. In the AddFX Channel Track window that appears, select the effects that you want to insert on the newly created track (you can change the effect at any time later by inserting a different effect on its channel strip in the mixing board). Once the channel is created, it will serve as the aux channel. CU automatically assigns the buses to the effect channels, so the only thing you have to do is assign the send of each audio track to the effect channel just created (as I mentioned, CU handles the bus assignments automatically; therefore from each send slot you will see a list of all the effect channels available, with the name of the effect inserted for each aux). In CU you can see the inserts and the sends of the channels in the mixing board by selecting them from the information win-
