Stacey:
If you want to compress a group of tracks, like background vocals for example, 
then insert the compressor on a bus that has the vocal tracks assigned to it.

  Gord?

  Are you serious about 
    ----- Original Message ----- not setting up a bus for compression?ks to the 
same "bus with one type of compression.  I know this saved some CPU processing  
I always thought it made those tracks come out sounding a little bit monified.

    So, would you recommend using one single compression effect for each trackk?

    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?
