ok, but if I set that to be unchecked in the prefs, then, once that's done,
how then do I find the slider so I can ajust how much signal that A U X
track's getting?

Hi Chris,
The reason you're not seeing bus 1-2 is because it's probably either the
delay or reverb aux. I don't know why your busses have been named that way
but that's what's going on. Normally, one can use the pop-up menu in the
sends to send to a new auxiliary track. Pro Tools then automatically creates
an Aux track and assigns the proper bus routing and names the bus to
correspond with the auxiliary track's name. The way you did it is
essentially the manual way. Just an FYI.
One thing you might want to do to ensure the plug-in is getting signal is to
set your default send level to unity gain. There's a checkbox in the Pro
Tools Preferences window, although I can't remember exactly which tab, that
says something like, "Sends default to inf" which means infinite resistance,
in other words zero. Make sure that checkbox is unchecked.
HTH,
Slau

OK, this is really strange.
I have two tracks in my project. One is justan mp3 karaoke track I
imported. The other is my vocal track. So, I added a new stereo track on
top of having those other two, and set it to a stereo A U X track.
Then, on the vocal track, I interacted with the sends, ond on send A, I
went to buss sub menu, and was going to route it to 1 2 stereo. I can't
though. The only thing I see is things like reverb stereo, delay stereo,
etc. then I see 7 8 or 7 etc. etc. I dont' see one 2. I went ahead and
said what the heck, route it to 7 8. I did, then went to the A U X track,
and set the input path to buss, 7 8. Again, I'm only doing that as I
can't find 1 2 anywhere in the buss menu for some weird reason. If it
would help you all for me to send you the session, I'd be happy to send
space it off list so you actually can look at what I did.
The bottom line is, in my A U X track, I assigned on insert A, a reverb
effect. Then back on the audio track of my vocal, I hit the send assign
button with vo+space. Here's also where I'm really getting stuck.
According to the documentation, there is supposed to be a fader I can move
up and down now to determine how much is sent to the A U X track. The
only fader I see is something about a post mix or something fader. When I
interacted with that and tried turning it from where it was which by
default was like -100 something odd DB, I find no matter how high I turn
it, I went all the way to like positive 20. I still heard nothing. No
difference. I'm guessing that's either 1, not the right slider, or B, it
has to do with the fact I routed to an unknown buss with the 7 8.
I feel I got a pretty good handle now on what bgusses are, I just more
specifically in p t from a VO perspective am not getting how to do this,
nor why the 1 2 they tell me to select in the docs is not showing up.
I must say: I'm perplexed.
Chris.
