Inactive Sends

Sends can be made inactive. Inactive sends free their DSP and mixer resources, while retaining their position in track Sends View. Inactive sends do not output audio. However, Inactive sends retain all related automation playlists. In addition, edits made to clips on tracks with inactive sends can still affect the sends automation playlists.

When opening sessions, sends will automatically be made inactive if the required hardware or other resources are not available.

Control-Start-click (Windows) or Command-Control-click (Mac) on the Send assignment.
