Viewer Mail:\\n
Grae Smart writes: "I know that to send two tracks to a reverb, you put the reverb on an aux track and then send the tracks to it. You can control the amount with the send fader. However, when I want to compress two tracks, say two vocal tracks while recording, I don\'t think it works the same way. I think you need to send each track through its own compressor. Otherwise transients from one would affect compression on the other. What\'s your opinion?"
