Cockos Incorporated Forums - View Single Post - I'm looking for clarification of Sends/Rec'vs. Do I have this right?

My project is very simple in the world of mixing. I only have 4 tracks! They are:

1. MASTER (I have learned that some guys like to have one in their projects)
2. Background Music
3. Vox
4. Vox Reverb

It may be possible that for some songs that there will be more than one Vox as a harmony, but, for the most part there will be a single Vox on almost every song.

From the videos I have been watching I need to do the following:

1. Send track 2 (Music) to track 1 (MASTER)
2. Send track 3 (Vox) to track 4 (Vox Reverb)
3. Send track 4 (Vox Reverb) to track 1 (MASTER)

QUESTIONS:

1. Do I have the configuration listed above in regard to sends / rec'vs correct? If not, how should it be?
2. Do I need to explicitly send track 1 MASTER to the project MASTER?
3. Is track 1 (MASTER) really necessary in this case?
4. Tracks 2 and 3 have FX applied directly on them vs through an FX BUSS

Please either confirm I am right or offer your suggestions for any changes I need to make so tat my configuration is correct regarding what to send where.

Thank you in advance for your help.
