  I followed you When you said to send all your backing vocal tracks to a 
backing vocals buss. That's how I do it hear. However couldn't you just apply 
the
  EQ to the backing vocals buss in sted of the individual tracks?

  Phil replied: sure you can do that! and that's what I suggested doing.

  Neville wrote: I also didn't understand when you said that you could press 
applications in the inspector
  and set the EQ to post affect or pre affect. I have never seen that in the 
inspector. Where would I find such a command? Please excuse my ignorance. 

  Phil replied: as I said, when focused over the EQ in the inspector, you can 
pres the applications key and the pree post option will be in there.

      Stacy wrote: 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? 

      Phil replied: that's a slightly strange way to do it.  As gord said, 
sends are usually used for Flange, reverb, chorus, delay affects etc.  If you 
want to use affects on busses such as EQ and compression then, you can however, 
in that case, you wouldn't use sends at all, as that wouldn't be the right way 
to do this.  If you wish to send multiple tracks to busses for use with 
compression and EQ then, you would send the track outputs to the buss.  For 
example, if I had done some backing vocals on a project then, I may set-up a 
buss called Backing Vocals.  I would then add a compressor such as the Sonitus 
Compressor and the Track EQ.  If I do use the Track EQ then, I would change it 
from pree affect in the inspector, to post, as I would want it to come after 
the Sonitus Compressor in the chain.  You can change it from pree to post when 
focused over it in the track inspector.  To do that, press the applications 
key, and choose post FX from the menu.  Then, I would go back into the track 
view, select all of my vocal tracks that I want to send to the backing vocals 
buss, go to the output column, and choose the backing vocals buss from the menu.

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

      Phil replied: doing it this way will still save CPU resources.

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

      Phil replied: not necessarily.  If you have a lot of backing vocals being 
sung by the same person then, it may be better to send them to a bus, rather 
than using individual compression and EQ for each track.
