Manage Your Effects Returns

Sending atmospheres/textural sounds to multiple reverb auxiliaries lets you add both long and short, bright and duller spatial treatments and several of these working together can add mix richness. It’s even better if these aren’t all set at the same level and, via auxiliary send levels, you can vary how much a sound is fed to any reverb at any moment. But what if you want to drop (or boost) the level of these reverbs? It’s a good idea to automate the auxiliary return levels too. Most DAWs let you see automation data for auxes alongside regular tracks, meaning you’ll always be in control of your reverb levels.
