selector, select an output path (main outputs).
Adjust the individual track faders to balance the
dry (unprocessed) tracks. With the send set to
pre-fader, the amount of effect is controlled by
the level of the Send Level fader or the Auxiliary
Input Volume fader. If the send is post-fader, the
Send Level fader follows volume level.

Configure the sends for pre- or post-fader, as
needed.
