Creating sends pre FX

[norfolkmastering 13]

There are times when you want to create a track send which is completely clean, which means before the FX in the signal chain.  Looks to be impossible at the moment as the Pre Fader option is still post FX.

I know there are possible work arounds by cloning tracks etc but these are definitely not user friendly.

I also know that other folks have made this request before.

Could we get an idea from the development team if this is a big deal to do?

Regards

Yeah that would be useful. In the interim, I'd have the source track feeding a couple of Aux tracks and put the effects on one of them instead of the source. Not ideal, but it gets you over the line.

Well let's hope I get a response from the development team about getting pre FX sends available in a future release.

Are you talking about a send from the track itself? Cause if you click on the orange (blue in the mercury theme)  little button next to the send level to go GREY youre in PRE FADER and needs to be controlled with the actual fader and not the Level knob. It has been available for years. 

Or are you referring to the Pro Channel Modules?

Yes, that's a great idea. Can you add a poll to this post? That way it may get more attention.

I'm talking about deriving a track send which is pre the FX.  This is sadly not available in Cakewalk at the moment.

I can't see how to do a poll.  Can you help?

There actually is. 

When created, you get a dirty copy and clean copy. If that's what you're asking. 

I can attach a video for this, if thats what you are asking.

I don't think you can do it after the post has been replied. Just start a new post.

Or how about... dynamic track strips? Some DAWs allow for the rearranging of track modules to create custom signal flows.

Oh flipfops!

I was suppose to make a video. As soon as i'm done with these clients.
