Right.....

What's the oversight? Your method works fine for me!

the oversight was that if you automate wet / dry levels on the SENDING tracks then you get audio bleeding from one track to another (ie - in my example if both synth tracks were playing unmuted i could hear pentagon on the EVE track and EVE on the pentagon track ...

... i think glurgles solution might solve this though

since you mentioned automating the send effect, this is what I'd do:
1. wrap the reverb in a rack filter
2. add a pan/vol filter and connect it between the rack input and reverb.
3. turn wet down to -inf and dry up to 0db
4. add a pair of inputs for each independant track you want to feed into the reverb.
5. add vol/pan filter to each pair of input pins and connect the output of those to the reverb
6. copy the rack to all the tracks and assign the various input ports
7. turn up the wet mix on ONE (1) track and adjust to your liking.
now you can automate the amount of signal getting sent to the reverb from each individual track, of course this would be a lot slicker if you could just automate the input level slider of a rack filter instance.

still get audio bleeding from one track to another though unless im being really thick (again) here

and marco is on a mac so im not sure if senderella is an option (has anyone ported it over ??? )

dyamn straight

btw, you should check out my website (sig link) there's a plugin there you may be interested in (pretty weak atm though)

plugins?????

Damn Glurgle! You actually did the inline sampler??! I gotta check this out. You should advertise more.

phz, check step 3 of my instructions.

modulR, yes, ugly ones.

AD80, well it doesn't work in racks proper since they f**k midi right up (don't know why) but when i get my eXT license I'll test it and make it work a lot more better good

i did ... and its in there ... still getting bleedthrough though

wait a sec, do you mean bleedthrough on the return track? ie if you mute tracks 3-4 you can still hear their reverb tails? because there's not much way around that... (although muting the track should turn it off so it doesn't feed the rack)

or do you mean reverb bleeding through on your other tracks? because if all rack instance but one have a -inf wet and 0db dry, I don't see how this is possible.

the former ...

now I'm even more confused, I just tested it, and muting a track does indeed to the proper thing. so if you mute one of your sender tracks, it does indeed stop sending to the rack. Your return is the mix of all signals sent to the reverb, so you adjust/automate send levels via the vol/pan filters in the rack.

the only way to not have any bleedthrough is to use the reverb as an insert, as this sort of 'bleedthrough' is essentially what a send does.

or was the upside down smiley a clue?
