Basic question - Send vs. Insert

I need to conserve computing resources - my current project is nearing 100 % CPU capacity. I want to take about 10 inserts that are all using Camelspace and convert them to 1 effect bus with 10 sends. The problem is that some of the tracks are supposed to be 100 % wet so I zeroed the gain on the audio track, but now they aren't sending signal to Aux. Is there a way to send the signal to Aux even though the audio track gain is turned all the way down? thanks. (confused, but trying to learn).

set your sends to pre-fader, the button is located next to the "m" on the strip, I believe it's a "p" (not at DAW right now.

Next to the Send volume knob, see the little M and P buttons? M is for mute, and P is the "Pre/Post Fader Toggle." You want to send pre fader. Then you can drop the track's fader down to -infinity, and the Send will still work.

Thanks....that is so much easier than I expected. And it's working like a charm.
