[ddots-l] disregard my last email it was jumbled read this on eRe: Re: panning confusion

Gord,

Are you saying that it isn't a good idea to set up a bus with a preset 
compression effect and then use the effect sends from several tracks to be 
directed to that "compression bus?

I have been doing this to save CPU system resources etc.  

Would you recommend using only 1 compression effect for each track?

  Hello:
  What kind of effects are you assigning to the sends?  You should only use 
sends for reverbs and delay effects, including chorus and flange.  You would 
not use them for eq, compression, gates, and the like.  If you are, then you 
are feeding dry signal into the sends which will return in the middle by 
default.  You could pan the send for a track, but there are other issues that 
are undesirable when using sends for these kinds of effects.

    I have a project with multiple audio tracks. I am using multiple effects 
which I inserted on individual busses so I have multiple sends on tracks so I 
can have maximum control. One effect per buss.
    I have outputs from tracks sent to master, as well as all the different 
busses. Where I am getting most confused about is that the pannings on 
individual tracks do not work when the sends are on. If the sends are off I can 
pan at will.

    What am I missing or is this just normal behavior?
