Display Fader for Sends in Prot Tools 10
If you want to know how to reveal the fader for a track or multiple tracks in a Pro Tools 10 session, here is the solution.
After you have added the send to the track, control / command click on it and the fader will be revealed. If you wish to reveal the faders for all sends control / option / command click on a single send and the faders will be revealed.
The fader allows you to quickly edit the volume, pan, mute, and whether the send is pre or post.
By the way, most of the time your send will be in post. You would use a send in pre if you wanted to maintain the same level of reverb while something in the room changes position (Something like recording foot steps.) Most of the time you will want the reverb volume and dynamics to be based on the performance.
Happy Recording!

SEO Search Engine Optimization The Big Picture
There are lots of misconceptions about SEO so we will try to set the record straight here. If you have never done SEO before when you finish this article you will be able to get your SEO on the right track.
The basic forms of SEO are:
“On Page SEO” and “Off Page SEO”
On Page SEO
This process consists of adding meta description, title tag and <H1> tags to each page of your website. The title tag, description and <H1> tags should include 1 or 2 of your most important keywords for that particular page. Your copy should be as human readable as possible so keyword stuffing is a no no.
Tastefully and legibly include your keywords in the copy of each of your web pages. A few links to other sections of your website using your keywords will be beneficial.
Include your keywords in the URL of each web page. If your web page is about Graphic Design then include graphic-design in the url. Good url’s will use dashes not underscores because Google recognizes underscores between words as combining those words. For example: You should use: /graphic-design.html not /graphic_design.html
Google keyword research tools are free to use and allow you to see how many people are searching for the keywords you are interested in using. You can also see similar keywords and get some ideas about how much competition you are facing. Use these tools to determine the best keywords for your website and more specifically the best keywords for each of your website’s pages.
You should be all set for On Page SEO if you’ve done the above.
“Off Page SEO”
This is SEO that is not done on your web pages directly. One of the most important things you can do is get backlinks. These are links to your website from a another website.
Here is a backlink:
<b><a href=”http://www.yourwebsite.com” target=”_blank”>yourwebsite-or-keyword</a></b>
To give you an idea about some of the best practices for backlinks, you can be penalized for buying too many backlinks, backlinking too much on the same server, running a backlink farm, trading backlink for backlink and the list goes on..
How to get backlinks:
- Always try to get backlinks that are relevant to the content on your website.
- Have good content that is regularly updated.
- Buy a backlink occasionally but never a lot at once.
- Ask businesses and people to link to your website.
- Write in Blogs and Social Media Websites.
Other SEO concept:
Here I will list a few additional things you should research and include in your SEO.
Site Map – Submit it to Google Web Master Tools
htaccess – will include “naked url” and “301 redirects” if needed.
alt image tags – here you can give search engines information about your images, after all, search engines can’t see your pictures.
Paid Ads Campaigns - Once you have done your on page SEO you can drive traffic with paid ads.
