How to mute a send to an Aux bus without having to mute the bus itself?

Hi, does anyone know how to mute the signal going from a muted track to a bus without muting the
bus itself? Probably easy but I haven't been able to figure it out. Here's what I'm trying to do - I have
various FX busses set up in Vegas for my directx bus effects and if I mute a track that is being sent to
them, the send to the FX bus is muted too - exactly as it should be and exactly as I want. Where the
problem lies is that I also have Aux B and C busses set up as effects sends to a couple of external
Lexicons but when I mute any track that is sending a signal to those Aux effects buses, the signal still
gets sent to the Aux bus and so is audible even though the track is muted. I want it to behave the same
way as the standard FX busses so that when I mute those tracks the send to the Lexicons are also
muted because I want to be able to keep the Aux B and C buses turned on because I am sending
other tracks to them that I don't want muted. Hope this makes sense : ) Tony

The Aux busses are defaulted to "Pre" fader send/ or as
Vegas calls it "Pre Volume"....Right click on the Aux send
of that track and you can switch it to "Post Volume"...When
it's in Post Volume it will mute when you mute the track.
