Send effect

A send effect is shared by multiple tracks through an auxiliary route, often used for reverb or delay.

Level relevance: introduced at Higher; tagged for every later level where the same concept remains useful.

Explanation

A send effect is placed on a separate auxiliary or return channel. Individual tracks send some of their signal to it, which makes it efficient for shared effects such as reverb and delay. This can create a more unified mix and gives flexible control over wet-dry balance.
