Using Channels as AUX Sends

-
If you have an empty track you can set it's input from any of the AUX channels (there are 6 of them now), and any effects you add on that track can be dialed in to all the other tracks via the AUX send.

The great thing about this is that you can for example EQ you reverb send separately from the main signal. If your reverb is too bright for example, simply put an EQ after it in the chain.

Just be aware of one potential catch: if you put an effect on the AUX send itself, that will be blended with any busses in parallel - so if you want the chain to be in series leave the AUX slot on the master strip empty, and use a channel with the AUX as an input.

Create a new track and select AUX 1 as the input:



Any audio on this track will be ignored BTW.
Next add your effects in series as inserts on this channel:



Next, and this is a little counter-intuitive, leave the AUX input on the Master strip empty:



Because if you add an effect there it will be blended in parallel with the other effects you have added on the channel that is using the AUX as an input. So for example if you are trying to EQ a reverb send it will still blend the original with it, which you don't want to do.

Finally just dial in the AUX send on your audio and MIDI tracks as normal:

Real-time audio warping

If your guitar playing is anything like mine you will usually need to tighten up your performances after you have recorded them. With Auria's real-time warping you can fix small timing errors or even completely change the feel of a rhythmic part. Here I have a guitar part where the timing is slightly out in places: First I need to anchor the waveform so I place the locator at a transient where the timing is good, and I go to Edit --> Transients --> Add Transient Marker: Then I add some more markers, including another anchor at the end of the section I want to warp: Next I tap the "trn" button to change its state to "warp" and move the transient markers to fix the timing: To help with adding the markers you can use the zoom function in the toolbar to magnify the waveform: With guitar strums I find it's generally better to have the transients placed just before the beat so that the main part of the strum coincides with th

Record MIDI from Animoog:

On a new MIDI track open the Channel Strip and add Animoog as a new instrument: Switch to Animoog, go to the Setup page and set Auria as the input and output. If you want to send Aftertouch make sure to activate the Send Ch. Pressure and Send Poly Pressure buttons: Then return to Auria, record-enable your MIDI track, set a count-in and start recording. Switch back to Animoog and play. The MIDI will be recorded:
