Hi, I just opened up Chainer for the first time. What I want to do is rather simple: I put the chainer in parallel mode and add several compressor plugins in different slots. I then want to mix and match the sounds of the different compressors by adjusting the fader levels. Seems very straightforward, but there is one thing that I don't understand:I don't see any way of muting or adjusting the level/blend of the incoming dry signal with the processed signals. I would expect there is either a dry/wet knob between the dry incoming signal and all the processed signals, or that the dry incoming signal would have its own fader. This is probably one of those scenarios where I will find the answer in the next few hours, but I must say I checked the gui several times, tried muting and unmuting things and I still haven't found it. When I mute all the processed signals' faders, I still hear the dry signal without having any means of adjusting its level. I could solve this by putting the chainer on an fx return of course, but I was just wondering if what I described before is also possible.

The way I set up a parallel feed, when using Chainer directly in a track insert, is put Chainer in parallel routing mode, then select one of the four racks and put NO effects on that one. That will be your dry unaffected signal signal.

For example, rack D is left without plugins, but turned on.
Rack A insert fx in slot 1
Rack B insert fx in slot 1
Rack C insert fx in slot 1

Use each rack's slot 1 fader to blend the processed signals with the dry signal that's on Rack D.

In addition, each rack can further have serial processing by inserting effects in the other slots and then using each channel's mix control to adjust to taste, (with the last used fader of that particular rack, serving as the overall blended volume of the serial chained effects.)

hope that helps
