<h2>Adding an External Send</h2>
<p>
- Context-click on the
- <a href="/working-with-plugins/processor-box/">processor box</a> in a
- channel strip (at the desired location, pre or post fader) and choose
- <kbd class="menu">Add new External Send</kbd>. A dialog will appear
- containing the standard Ardour
- <a href="/signal-routing/Patchbay/"><dfn>patchbay</dfn></a> to allow
- you to connect the send to the desired destination.

</ul>
<h2>Altering Send Levels</h2>
<p>
- Just below the send in the processor box is a small fader that can be used
- like all other faders in Ardour to control the gain applied to the signal
- delivered by the send. Drag it to alter the level, Shift-click to restore
- to unity (0dB) gain.
