Description
** Not Max For Live, But Maybe Interesting Enough??:) **
This is a utility rack that implements two basic utilities:
* the functionality of an effects send/return channel but without having to create a return track
* a ducking mechanism for the effects chain
By using parallel chains for the dry and effects signals, you can have a lot of control of the presence of effects in the mix, different than if the effects had a wet/dry control. This way, you can keep the dry signal at a consistent volume but vary the wet volume, and any other combination you can think of.
Some effects have a ducking function, but it's possible with standard Ableton devices to give any effect or chain of effects ducking capability. Here, we use the standard Ableton Compressor device, which is connected to the Duck Thresh and Duck Release knobs.
