But if I'm creating a mix for monitoring, unless it is a send, it
would seem like I am affecting the main mix, which would defeat the
purpose. I guess my main question deals with the fact that Vegas does
not have "sends"- or am I missing something? I had a Pulsar card,
which actually had a monitoring function- which was really just a
send with a panning feature. I ran this back into my TMD 1000 via my
lightpipe. But now that my Pulsar is out of my machine, I've noticed-
or at least think I have noticed that Vegas does not have this
fuction. Sends! Am I right?

You can add a Main bus and use it as an AUX bus/send. Example...

- Set up you main outs to have 2 main busses. Each should be assigned
to a different harware output.
- Assign all tracks main outputs to Bus A
- Assign the tracks you want to montior using the multi selector(pan)
and assign them to Aux B.
- You can set the Aux B send to pre or post fader (right click on the
fader when set to Aux B.)
- Set the send levels for the monitor mix for each track
- Set the overall level for the monitor mix in the Bus B master fader.

Depending on the number of busses you set up and the number of
hardware outputs, you can set up a number of different monitor mixes.

Is this what you want/need?
