FX that sends to a track?

[cjunekim]

Hello everyone

Is there an FX(or any other way) that can send to a different track?

Suppose, I have 3 FXs on Track 1:

FX1
FX2
FX3

What I want to do is send the result of FX1 to Track 2 and at the same time the result of FX1 flows into FX2 as usual. So this is similar to a Tee command in unix: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tee_(command) or a Y splitter in audio.

I suppose a new FX, say FX1-1 can be inserted between FX1 and FX2 and what it does is routing the input into a different track(Track 2) and at the same time handing over to the next FX, which is FX2 in this case.

set the track 1 to have 4 channels. output the FX1 to 1+2 and 3+4 channels using the pin connectors in the FX chain.

route 1+2 will go normally to the next FX2 1+2 inputs
and then create a Track2, and a send from track1 3+4 output to Track2 1+2 inputs. This will have the signal from FX1 into Track 2.

Nice! Thank you.

That works as long as FX2 isn't one which actually processes channels 3/4 by default. Some multichannel plugs do. Some plugs with sidechains might get messed up, too. It's easy enough to disable the ins and outs to 3/4 on FX2, but just something to watch out for.
