Hi! I realize this thread is 7-9 years old, but I'm looking to do the same thing, but I'm running into issues with competing gain or negating the use of the mixer.
My setup:
* Created new Vocals bus, which has plugins for compressor and reverb
* On each of three vocal tracks, I create an Aux Send to the Vocals bus
* I can now hear all three tracks utilize the compressor and reverb on the Vocals bus
However, I'm running into trouble with mixing: :)
* The gain on the mixer now has very little influence on the clean signal strength
* The gain send in the Aux Send has a lot of influence, but feels like it has taken the mixer's job (UX issue)
* Finally, if I lower the gain for the Vocals bus all the way to the bottom (-70dB), I can still hear the original signal)
Ideally, I'd like to:
* Utilize the mixer to control the gain on each of the clean vocal tracks to the Vocals bus - but when using the Aux Send, I don't want to hear the clean signal
* Utilize the mixer to control the processed audio on the Vocals bus - I only want to hear the processed signal, not the clean signal anywhere
Maybe I don't have my chain set up properly, but then again, it's also been a long time since this thread started, and so, perhaps there have been some changes.
Thank you for in advance! I'm really appreciating Qtractor!
