Finally we need to create two sends from our Lead Vocal Mix track to the two new Effects buses (Vox Verb & Vox Delay for the slow among us), and set the Aux Input tracks to their appropriate buses. This will allow us to adjust the Lead Vocal Fader and the Vox Verb & Vox Delay faders to create the right blend of dry, unprocessed lead vocal, with reverberated and delayed wet vocal.


MPM024 - MPM025 - Adding the Send to the Verb & Delay bus to the Lead Voc track.


MPM019 & MPM020- Set the Vox Verb tracks input to the Vox Verb bus & Delay track to Delay bus.

Nicely done. Now that we’ve got our Multi-Platinum Vocal Chain (I just made that up) done, we can streamline our interface to make the ride more efficient. To do this, (and to prove to you why we use such short names in our tracks), hit Option-Cmd-M (Alt-Ctrl-M for you PC users) and you will notice that all your tracks go on a crash course Atkins diet, fitting nearly twice as many on the screen. Notice also how our beautifully concise names still show up intelligibly in their boxes. The wisdom becomes clear.
