Why You Should Be Using Sends & Returns!

This week’s tutorial breaks down why send & returns are important to use in your mix.

Send & returns are ideal to use when it comes to things like reverbs, delays, & parallel processing, but why would we want to use those as send & returns rather than a direct insert? There are a few reasons why & it has to do with your CPU, being efficient within your session, & how it affects the overall outcome of the sound you’re working with. In this video we show you when to use send & returns, how to use them, & why this is the method professional engineers use everywhere.

Follow along as professional engineer Realistic explains why you should be using send & returns!
