Default Adjusting send-levels from the mixer for more than one track at once

What I'd love to see in Reaper is an easier handling of Aux-Sends, or to be precise: the ability to adjust parameters - most importantly the send-levels - on more than one send at once.

Status quo:
Right now in the mixer you can send a track by dragging and dropping from this track's send area to the one on the target track. If you want to send more than one track at once you can shift-drag all selected tracks to the particular target track. But as of yet that's it. You can't for example click on the small rotary fader which displays the send volume level and adjust it for more than one track at once. This kind of action is limited to one track at a time.

Request:
I would like to Shift-adjust other parameters for a whole bunch of tracks at once as well, most importantly the send-levels. By selecting some tracks in the mixer for example and then holding a modifier (e.g. Shift) and adjust the send-levels by clicking on the small rotary fader and adjusting it to the desired level should be possible. To be honest I was pretty surprised that currently this isnt possible as it is such a common feature.

For an example of what I'm talking about look how the guy is doing it in Logic:

Thanks in advance!

Agree. Sends should probably gang like faders, for selected tracks.

Not just Reaper, but any software mixer.

O yes, absolutely. Not being able to do so, resulted in a lot of broken mixes in my case (30 tracks, all going to 3 or 4 verbs, and other fx each, and one unnoticed mistake at some point, and everything down the line just starts sounding bad )

I'd even suggest being able to group sends, or have sends vca!

I'll add a +1 to this. That would certainly come in handy.

A workaround in the meantime might be to create a new track and send all your aux's to that, then send that to your FX track. That would give you an aux send master for each aux group. I do that sometimes.

Having the ability to group adjust the sends like you suggest would be much better though, especially if you only want to adjust a few aux's amongst a group of many.

I ran into a similar problem when creating my template and found a work around if your sends are going to the same location. Assign the level you want for one of the channels. Open the routing matrix and command click and drag down the channels that you want the same assignment and send level.

I'm sure there is clever way to do this with a VCA fader or an FX paramater assigned the same CC value.

That being said the group channel options seem to be pretty limited. In programs like Vienna Ensemble Pro, or Cubase. The user can hold down 'Shift-Command' and group send levels, outputs, plugins insertion, and pan. This may need to be coded into the mouse modifiers in Reaper. Anyone out there want to write a script that can do this. I'm willing to make a large donation to cause.

+1 I'd definitely like to be able to affect multiple send levels on multiple selected tracks just like you can with the faders. Very surprised to find that this isn't already possible.

mpl_Interacive Toolbar and mpl_SendFader scripts fro mmy ReaPack repository can move all sends levels in VCA like style.
