I’m not QUITE sure whether you can do this or not in C6 somehow easily, but I’d just LOOOOVE to have an option on Automation Panel to “suspend” Inserts and Sends in the same manner as one can suspend READ/WRITE. It wouldn’t be SUSPENDING to the exact meaning of the word, but I simply mean setting ALL active Inserts and/or Sends on ALL tracks (that have Inserts/Sends active) to BYPASS (and back on).
That way one could easily release some extra processor power + memory when you have a large project with countless Inserts + sends on several tracks, and you just have to, for example, record yet one vocal line again, etc.
Due to the heavy load of a fully plug-in equipped mixing project, the PC slows down so much that one has to tweak with the buffer values and that sucks.
Plus, I actually like to hear sometimes my project without any extra plugins (Inserts nor Sends) and currently it’s a tedious job setting dozens of buttons to bypass and then back again. And there really are other scenarios where that project-wide Insert/Send-bypassing would be a great feature.
I think “Suspend” is more or less only used as a term in the Automation so that’s what expected as well.
Back on topic: There is a shortcut for that as well as for EQ and sends, maybe a button as well.
Hmh… I just explained that in my initial post: TO HAVE SOME EXTRA RESOURCES FROM PROCESSOR AND MEMORY WHEN YOU SUDDENLY WANT TO RECORD SOMETHING TO A PROJECT FULL OF PLUG-INS (Inserts and FX-tracks).
In more detail - once more: If you will record something with a s**tload of plugins active, you’ll have to tweak the buffer settings and thus, will GET MORE LATENCY.
I’m sorry… Didn’t quite follow… You mean, there actually IS a short-cut for disabling Inserts/Sends/EQ’s on all the tracks by one mouse-click?? Could you please tell me where, since I haven’t been able to find it…
Naw, Key Command That’s what I got for commenting on your terminology! life is a tough place!
You can search for “bypass” in the key commands dialog and hit the search button a few times and you’ll find it!
No apologies necessary. Just tried to explain. And I guess I couldn’t.
But anyway, I already found the solution from the Keyboard shortcuts. AND made a macro of bypassing/enabling all the EQ’s/Inserts/Sends by one single KB shortcut. Works like a charm - just what I needed.
No hard feelings, and my feathers are just fine still
What the hell’s your problem? Believe me - I know just about everything about the toughness of the world so just calm down and try to behave, boy. I already got it working so no reason for me to follow this BS any longer.

can you tell me or screenshot me your macro? It would come in handy here as well.
Yep. I would like that macro too. Thanks in advance.
And for the people that don´t understand…
In this moment I have A LOT of audio tracks and inserted pluggins.
Playing it is ok.
But.
I want to change the Solo, that means rerecording another line with other instrument, live.
Well, it gets spikes and the recording has pops.
So I have to go to EVERY F… channel to bypass the fx.
A function that bypass all fx (like Protools has) would be a lot of time saving.
So no, it is not some “what the hell do you need it for”. It is a must , integrated in other DAWs.
no and also I wonder why BYPASSING suddenly would be a solution if the topic clearly called for a DEACTIVATION option. Correct me please but bypassing would still drag resources.
I do not see a shortcut that substitutes for [alt+click ]
Goodbye!
