Adding Global Effects

Global effects are typically added to more than one track. Reverb is a good example since reverb is a very common effect used on many instruments. Global effects can be added to multiple tracks in varying amounts. When using a Global effect the dry and effected signals are mixed separately, providing full control over the dry/effect level ratio.
