Hello, can I ask you something?
I've noticed, that if I create new return track, but don't place any effect there (so it's empty) it serves as volume booster or something like that – tracks are slightly louder. Do you have any experience with this? How is it possible? :D Thanks man

Hey there I've got a question.
In short: is it possible to map a return automation?
In long: I want to trigger a surround effect (4 channels) with just a push of a button (so that I can do other stuff while a track rotates). I've got the Max plug in Api Sends pan with which I can trigger the assigned return track (rt A-D ch1-4). I've mapped this on a knob and it works just fine. Is it possible to create an global envelope that imitates a smooth return automation and trigger it with a midi button? Of course I could just create an envelope and be done with it, however I do improvisation so there are no tracks beforehand that I could just put the envelope on.

It feels like what I need isn't that complicated but it might be too niche to be possible.

Thanks a lot for your help!
