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?
