I could mean anything. What console or software are you referring to?

Pre- Prefader - send is not affected by any fader adjustments
Post - Postfader - send is affected by adjusting the fader (volume)
Usually effects are Pre fader...but as always...no rules.

It could mean pre/post EQ too. On analog mixers, there are a variety of pre/post fader/eq combo's that come stock with consoles. In software, the Aux Sends could be pre/post inserts and/or faders too.
WAY too many options, which is why I need to know what you are referring to.

Probably pre/post volume. That means if you have it set to pre, you can have the track volume all the way down but still send to and hear fx returning. Post means the fx level is also controlled by the volume level - no volume, no fx.djclueveli said:

Hi fellow Samplitude user. Just like they said, it's a software implimentation of the pre/post switches on an analog console. In the case of an aux send for reverb;
If set to post (most common), as you pull down the fader, you are proportionally reducing the reverb send too.
If set to pre (less common), the reverb send stays constant as the track volume comes down with the fader, resulting in proportionally more reverb as you bring down the track fader. A good example is toward the end of "Four Sticks" by Led Zepplin. As Plant's vocal fades, it gets wetter (more reverb). It has the effect of moving down a hallway or a tunnel or cave. In the right place it's a good effect.

Alright I have to post just because this is weird. As I read that last post, I was listening to the very end of 4 sticks. I put in the CD 20 minutes ago to hear the intro to Rock and Roll which was referenced in another thread in the Drum Forum. Anyway. It's always cool to read about something in a song and then hear that something before you forget about it.
