Sends

Command|8 lets you adjust Pro Tools send
level, pan, pre/post fader tap, and send mute.
(You cannot assign or remove sends from Com-

the mouse instead.)
Sends can displayed and accessed in either Con-
sole or Channel View modes.
The F5 Focus switch toggles between the
current and previous Console or Channel
view. See "Function/Utility Switches" on
page 28.
