Any DAW with post-aux send channel inserts?

[DrFrankencopter]

Maybe a weird question, but I was thinking this morning that a cool effect to try would be to use a single reverb on an aux, but to have individual pre-delay control from the various channels being sent to the verb. I think this would give much better control over the position that an instrument occupies in the reverb space...better than just individual wet/dry level and global pre-delay.

BUT, how would you accomplish this in a typical DAW mixer? Sees to me that you'd need a short delay available to insert on each channel's aux send prior to the summing point for the aux buss. I haven't looked at tons of DAW software, but don't imagine this is a typically available insert point for plug-ins.

I'd rather not have to mult every track that I want to try this to in order to send individually delayed signals to an aux. There's gotta be a way.....

Any ideas?

Cheers

In most DAWs you could just copy the regions to another track - pre-delay that track and send it to the reverb pre fader and then mute the channel the signal is being sent from.

Programs like Logic offer a lot more flexibility in routing and would offer other solutions

Reaper. Does this with ease.

Cool. I've heard nothing but praise for Reaper.

It would be a bit of a headache for multiple tracks but you could do an aux send from your source track to a bus with a delay plugin and route that to your reverb.

If I understand what you're doing correctly, you would set up separate auxes for each delay and have sends from your tracks going to those. Then it would simply be a matter of routing the outputs of the delay auxes to another aux with a verb on it, no?

Or if you really wanted to get complex you could mute the outputs of the delays and use prefader sends to send a different volume from each delay to a couple or more different reverbs I suppose.

You could do that easily in Pro Tools or Harrison Mixbus/Ardour (which has the most flexible routing I know of).

I imagine this wouldn't be hard to do on most other DAWs either, I'm just not familiar enough with all of them to say.

The best solution would be if someone just came up with a multi-input plug-in format.
Why in this digital age are we still using the mono/stereo paradigm for plug-in inputs, when so much more is possible?

Edit: You read it here first folks, I expect a free copy of any plugs released with this technology
