Exactly, Harvey.

But bear in mind that on this forum more often than not we deal with those who seem to go for the mad rush to automatically "render" the mix instead of doing the mixdown routine.

And then there's the matter of how to set up their software and plugins to accomplish this. Those darn AUX busses seem to be the preferred method around here -- and that is more out of a concern for how many plugins are running than for reasons of mix integrity.

Mac,

I would like to know the reason for the seeming dislike of using an aux bus for reverb. Isn't that the bog standard way of using reverb when you'd like the same kind of reverb, but perhaps not the same amount, on different tracks? I think I must be missing something with your concern.

Perhaps it's the was PG has aux buses setup?

In my DAW, I put a reverb on a track that is set up as a return. Then, any track that I'd like a little bit of that reverb 'flava' I send to that track and play with the amount of 'send' that I'm giving it. The return track is completely wet - reverb only. The source track clip is completely dry and uneffected. The sequence/song is saved that way and only when I want to print a mixdown does any audio get effected permanently, and that is only on the printed version.

If this isn't your preferred way of doing things, I'd like to know what better way there is.
