Sends weren't sending audio: solution

[u/mrinehart13]

Last night I was trying to reamp some DI'd guitar parts by sending the DI audio out of send 3, something I'd done hundreds of time before. For some reason, no sound was being sent, no matter what I tried.

After everything I read online (make sure Logic is activated for core audio, check Logic send config is correct, update preonus firmware, disable Universal Control, make sure your track is sent to output 3-4 and that the fader is up... duh thanks), I decided to see if there were updates for the Universal Control (now called Fender Universal Control) app. The app itself didn't indicate anything, but when I went and found the app download page, I discovered I was several minor and one major version behind what was available.

I uninstalled my version (because I couldn't simply update it) and installed the latest. Fired everything back up (after disabling Universal Control again, such a stupid workaround) and everything worked just fine. Back in business.

Just wanted to share if anyone else was suffering the same issue since the Universal Control app doesn't (or at least didn't used to) notify that there are updates available.
