This includes fixing em-dashes, badly spaced colons, various
misspellings, removal of spurious {% %} constructs, conversion of <br />
to <br> (still too many <br>s kicking around), and initial light cleanup
of a few sections that caught my eye.

Like a normal aux send, an <dfn>external send</dfn> taps the signal at a
|
|
specific within a channel strip, but delivers it to an external application
|
|
or piece of hardware rather than an Ardour bus. By itself, an external
|
|
send has no effect whatsoever on the audio signals within Ardour—it
|
|
is a one-way signal routing that leaves all existing signal processing
|
|
just as it was.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Most people will not have much use for this, but it can be useful if you
|
|
want to experiment with external applications or hardware signal processing
|
|
applications.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Adding an External Send</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Context-click on the
|
|
<a href="/working-with-plugins/processor-box/">processor box</a> in a
|
|
channel strip (at the desired location, pre or post fader) and choose
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Add new External Send</kbd>. A dialog will appear
|
|
containing the standard Ardour
|
|
<a href="/signal-routing/Patchbay/"><dfn>patchbay</dfn></a> to allow
|
|
you to connect the send to the desired destination.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Removing an External Send</h2>
|
|
<p>You can remove an external send in several ways:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><kbd class="mouse mod3">Right</kbd>-click the send in the processor box.</li>
|
|
<li>Position the pointer over the send and press the <kbd>Del</kbd> key.</li>
|
|
<li>Position the pointer over the send and press <kbd class="mod1">x</kbd>.</li>
|
|
<li>Context-click the send and choose either <kbd class="menu">Cut</kbd> or
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Delete</kbd>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Altering Send Levels</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Just below the send in the processor box is a small fader that can be used
|
|
like all other faders in Ardour to control the gain applied to the signal
|
|
delivered by the send. Drag it to alter the level, Shift-click to restore
|
|
to unity (0dB) gain.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Disabling Sends</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Click the small "LED" in the send display within the processor box to turn
|
|
it on and off. When turned off, silence will be delivered to the send. When
|
|
turned on, the signal within the channel strip will be delivered.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>Editing Send Routing</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Double-clicking or Edit-clicking on the send in the processor box will
|
|
redisplay the patchbay dialog that allows you full control over the routing
|
|
of the send.
