Fx bus pre post not working

[heystudios_enoder]

I've created a series of busses on a vocal track where I'm sending the signal for fx processing.

The busses are set to post fader as they should. 

The main track out is sent to another bus (main vox)

When l lower the vocal track  fader which is where the buses are, l can still hear the fx bus l should not since the busses are all post. 

Any ideas? 

Any help would be appreciated

Not seeing anything unusual for this on our end, we'd need to have a closer look at your actual project file to troubleshoot much further.

Just to clarify the terminology, I read this as you've inserted multiple Sends on a track to different FX buses and the Sends are post-fader (the default). And the track's Output is assigned to the 'main vox' bus.

Indeed in that case you should not see or hear any FX signal on the main vox bus when the source track's Volume is pulled down to -Inf.

It shouldn't really matter, but I'm assuming  the FX buses Output to the 'main vox' bus along with the Output of the track; is that right?

First thing I would check is that what you're hearing is actually from those buses; do you see signal in their meters? Does any other track also send to those buses?

How would you suggest proceeding?

Thank you so much

David, 

Fx busses output to out 15-16 on my board.

Main Vox outputs to 1-2 on the board

Main track has the sends. Main track  Signal goes to main vox so to add compression , EQ, etc.

When l lower the fader on main track, fxs persist.

I do see the signal on those busses 

I ended up putting the sends on the main vox track and then it behaves the way is supposed to but l shouldn't have to do that. 

Hope this helps as l know is hard sometimes to envision the situation

If it were me, I would strip everything out of a copy of the project except the relevant track and buses, and if the issue persists, save that to a new location leaving un-referenced audio behind, Zip up that project folder, share it via One Drive (or other sharing site), and send Sasor a link.

If for some reason stripping down the project fixes the issue, then you'll need to go over the routing of the rest of the project. I often find that the process of preparing a simplified project to demo a bug for Support reveals that I overlooked/misunderstood something. 🙄

I'll try that

Thank you
