Is it possible to keep an FX active when the Bypass Rack button is active

[norfolkmastering]

I have some track FX that I want to keep on all the times, even when the track 'Bypass Rack' is active (so I mean it would be trying to switch off all the FX).

Is there any way to do this?

Add to a bus and/or an aux track?

If you bypass the effects rack, then all of the effects will be bypassed - no getting around that.

Two other options, if you want to keep the effects in the same track/bus:

1.  Move some of the effects into an FX Chain, that way you can bypass the whole chain while leaving fx outside the chain as they are.  The downside is you'll need to open the FX chain, then double click on each effect to access it.

2.  Use assignable controls/groups:   make the first assignable control the bypass of each effect, and add them to the same group.  Bypassing one effect will bypass them all.  The downside here is:  (1) it's laborious to set up; (2) you need a separate group for each track.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I'll experiment and see what works best for me.

I use an external mixer that has FX.
