Mute Sends
Hello.
Track Send works great, but is there are also way to add mute/unmute specific send?
I don’t know if there’s a native way to do this but I could build a Reaction for it. Or help you build one.
I’ve tried to do it using variations on CSS’s built-in mappings, but it never really worked as intended.
How would the mechanics work?
The easiest would be if
- pressing a button when the send value > 0 turns the send off by setting it to 0
- pressing a button when the send value == 0 turns the send to 100%
But I’m guessing you want the mute button to save the last value and return to that value when unmuting?
Then you’d have to save that value in a Modifier or List.
What button lay-out are you thinking of?
Do you want to only be able to mute sends from the Selected Track?
Then you could set up 12 buttons that each correspond to a Send from the Selected Track
Do you want to be able to mute the same Send number on different Tracks at all times?
Affected Tracks could be based on the Session Box position?
Do you only want to be able to mute very specific Sends on specific Tracks?
You could also use different Modes for different button lay-outs. For example:
Let’s say you’re going for this method:
Do you want to be able to mute the same Send number on different Tracks at all times?
Let’s say we have 8 buttons to work with. Each button mutes the same Send number on 8 different Tracks.
We could use a Shift Mode to use those 8 buttons to change what number of Send would be affected:
In Shift Mode, button 1 would select Send number 1, button 2 would select Send number 2, etc…
Releasing the Shift Mode button would return you to the regular mode where each button mutes the Send with the currently selected number for that button’s corresponding Track number.
I’m just giving examples here. There’s a lot of different approaches, which would change the way the Reaction would have to be set up. Let me know what you’d like to build.
