I don't even know what they do on a regular board.
Thank you though for your help.
I'll go have a read and see what I can come up with.
Chris.

Subject: Re: Please help me with documentation
Hi Chris,
Find the document called "Intro to Pro Tools." I'm using Snow Leopard and
it's in the following directory:
Macintosh HD>Applications>Digidesign>Documentation>Pro tools.
Open the file and do a search for "aux," in other words, type Command-f and
do a standard search. You should get about 4 results. Move to the Outline
area and navigate to the second entry. Stop interacting with the Outline and
move to the left. You'll find a description of auxiliary inputs.
Auxiliary inputs are just like any auxiliary inputs on an analog console but
they're more versatile because they can instantly take their source from a
bus. Hopefully this will get you started.

I don't expect you all to help me much until I've done a thorough read on
this topic, and frankly, that's fair. I'll come back when I have red and
need things more clarified, but can someone show me on my Pro tools DVD
where in the documentation I need to go to read up on what an auxiliary
track is? I'm just not getting the whole concept of a aux, a send,
receive, and a bus is?
I kind a get it, but not really. Here's what I'd say in my own words.
Maybe you all can help me. If I want help here, I need to not just say I
think I get something a move on. How can you all help me, if I don't at
least work with you all and try!?
So, my understanding, with that in mind, of an aux track or is that my
first misatke right there, it's not a track, it's a send? Anyway, is,
it's used for routing certain tracks, be them audio, or midi through
another empty track which is specifically used more for global
processwing? So like, if I had say, a music track, then I had 3 singers
that came in my studio to dubb their vocals... Rather than taking say,
both the females, and processing them the same exact way on various
inserts individually, I could route them through an AUX track, then go
down to that AUX track and on insert A, I may add some say... oh... I
dono, let's just for sake, sake compression dynamics. Now, because they
are both routed to that AUX track, the effects now are gonna be applied to
both the female tracks at the same time.
Am I getting this correctly, or, honestly, no? Not exactly.
You're looking at me I'm sure saying, no, not even close. Chris, you need
to go read. I know I do! I'm willing! Just please tell me what file to
bring up, and how within that file to search and find the section I need
to read.
I'll be using Preview within Snow Leopard to access the pdf files.
Thank you.
Chris.
