Ok, I now know how to insert sends. What I still am unsure of is the meaning of the send level numbers. I understand that the send level determines the proportion of the dry signal that's sent through the buss and the portion that's left dry. What I'm not sure of is the actual proportion that a number of -6DB gives. Based on my reading, -6DB should correspond to half the signal, -12DB should correspond to a quarter of the signal, etc. In this context, I don't know what positive numbers in the send level mean. 0 DB should correspond to sending the entire output signal, which can also be accomplished by simply routing the output of the track or bus to a bus with no need to insert a send.

Am I on crack, or have I got this surrounded?
