Here is a simplified version of this question and then a long version of the same question below:
1. Do the mix level sliders on the plug-ins themselves control the signal coming into the main channels much like an effects return button would? so then all these plug-ins are already inserted?
---Here is the long version if the above question didn’t make sense---
When you add an effect to a channel on a real physical mixer you would set your effect to totally wet and control how much wetness comes in to the direct signal using the effects return spinner.
But in Logic 5.5 I noticed that even if I turn my bus level to zero, the Logic reverb Gold still comes through. Now I admit that I have the mix slider on the reverb plug-in to over 50% as a test. But this is the part I don't get:
If the plug-in is set to almost full wetness then shouldn’t I be able to control how much wetness comes into the main channel by using the bus returns.
I’m looking at these bus level return buttons as effect returns. Is this a wrong way of thinking?
What are the busses for then?
