I know aux busses have been covered extensively here but I have a specific question that I couldn't find an answer to in the forum search.
I'm using cakewalk HS and following some good advice I've read here, using aux busses to cut down the number of instances of CPU heavy plugins. What I don't understand is......
......When monitoring the mix I hear the wet signal from the aux bus and the dry signal sent from the channels to the bus. Having them both play at the same time is confusing.
Is there a way to mute a selected Channel's dry signal so I can monitor the Mix with only the wet signal from that channel going through the aux bus?
The only way I found of doing this is creating another Main Out and routing the channels to this new Main Out bus and muting it. The "unmuted" main bus outputs the aux bus wet signals I want to monitor.
This works but is there another way? Where do the aux bus returns, return to? In cakewalk I imagine its to the aux bus selected OUT. I'm i mistaken?
Sorry for the confused wording but I'm pretty confused myself
