OK, here's where I'm getting confused. See your responses with my comments below them.
You are modifying whatever is at the end of your aux send before the original audio is received by the aux track. In other words, your prefader is increasing/decreasing the reverb before the audio is applied to the aux track. OK, but if it's not yet hit the AUX track, then how could the reverb be applied to anything. The reverb isn't on the audio track. It's on the AUX track. So, by you saying that the level is being effected before the audio hits the AUX track, that implies to me that the level would have to then be effected on the audio track. There are only two places it could be effected. If it's not yet hit the AUX track with a prefader, then the only other place the audio or reverb could be would be the audio track, thereby leaving the AUX track as null, with nothing going to it. With post fader, the modifications are applied after the original audio is sent to the aux track. Pre means before and post means after. Therefore, prefader means “change the levels before sending anything to the aux track.” Would it be more correct to state that prefader doesn't effect the audio being sent to it? All it effects is the processing? So, like, in this case, the AUX track has a rev instantiated. With pre, it sounds like you're not actually sending audio to the AUX track, as much as you're only using the AUX track as a placeholder for effects and such which are then tied/linked back to the audio track with the send. It sounds like post, you're actually sending the physical audio data. You're literally saying, OK, take this audio from the audio track, and drop it on the AUX track as well. Whereas pre sounds like you're just saying, don't actually send the audio, but link this AUX track to the audio track. This way, though no audio is now being sent to the AUX track, anything applied to it like effects etc. will then effect the audio from the initial audio track. A master fader is nothing more than a track which controls the overall sound of the mix. But wouldn't it be obtaining the over all sound by routing? Somehow, the sound has to get from the initial tracks into the master fader. Otherwise, how does the master fader know what to modify. I know it's everything, but what determines that it's everything? Somehow that signal from each track has to be insertted into the master fader, doesn't it? Therefore, wouldn't it make sense to say that technically, though it's a far stretch, the audio is having to be sent to that master fader? Whatever you change on the master fader will apply to everything in the project. I know. that's my point. How can the master effect everything if it just... is. Somehow, on the back end, PT is having to send all the audio down to that master fader. How's that happening?
