FX Returns — There are two vertical return channel faders and
meters, one for each eect. These control the return level from
theeecttotheselectedoutput.Youhaveseenthesebefore,
astheyarethesamefadersdisplayedinthemixerview.Apair

UnliketheFXsends,thecoloroftheselectedoutputindicator
will change based on the selected output for the FX returns.
See the image to the right for one example.
Navigatetothereverbreturnchannel,thenmovethechannel
faderupanddown.Noticethatitalsomovesthereverbreturn
fader up and down. This is because they are both showing the
samelevel.Assuch,movingthereturnreverbfaderupand
down also moves the reverb channel fader up and down.
This works with the delay return channel and delay return
fader, as well.
There are no reverb or delay returns to the reverb
and delay sends (which would be crazy...and it avoids
a feedback loop), so when either the reverb or delay
send is the selected output, there are no return faders
as seen in the image to the left.
The astute reader may ask if there are no sends from
returns and no returns from sends, what if one selects
an eect return as the current channel and an eect
send as the selected output. Good question! The image
on the left shows the FX with no sends and no returns.
Of course you may still adjust the global controls.
Ifyouwanttowitnessthisforyourselfhere’show
in two simple steps: (1) go to either the reverb channel
or delay channel and (2), select reverb or delay as the
output. Done!
