Send effect is a human-made audio routing configuration in which a signal is split to feed an effect unit in parallel, with the effect's output mixed back with the dry signal, rather than placed in series. Parameters: (1) send level — amount of signal diverted to the effect; (2) return level — amount of processed signal mixed back; (3) effect unit — the processor used in the parallel path; (4) bus topology — the shared effects bus that multiple sources may feed. Mechanism of persistence: it persists as a standard wiring convention in analog consoles and as a routing option in digital audio workstations, documented in audio engineering literature and maintained through session templates and hardware design.

Judgments (4)
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition carves parameters (send level, return level, effect unit, bus topology) and persistence mechanism (standard wiring convention in analog consoles and DAW routing, documented literature, session templates). Ends with display trailer. Carves the entry's sense correctly, not generic.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition correctly carves: parallel split, effect unit fed in parallel, output mixed back with dry signal. Clear parameters and persistence mechanism. Trailer present. Distinguishes from series insert.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition carves send effect: parallel split, parameters, persistence via studio practice/equipment/DAW. Proper trailer. Defines what it IS.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Carves properly (Law 4): names the construct (parallel split-to-effect with mixed-back), states four parameters (send level, return level, effect unit, bus topology), mechanism of persistence (console wiring convention, DAW routing, engineering literature, session templates, hardware design). Domain-specific, not boilerplate. Law 6 trailer present and well-formed.
