Effects bus questions

Post by Eddy Yates »

Can anyone give me a link to understanding Aux Tracks and FX bussing? The manual is pretty disjointed about that. I'm sure if I understood the basic concepts, I'd be fine, but it seems like a lot, maybe too many, choices. For example, here's what I've done. Inserted AUX track. Went to plugin slot and inserted plugin. The only thing that will come up on the screen at that point is the Effects Window, and I can't see the plugin itself to be able to change parameters. What's the concept, and why should it be different than inserting a plugin in an audio track? When I do that I can see the plugin itself.

On an Aux, the aux has to have both a valid input and output to show the plug. This just came up the other day in another thread.
