Input Channel Controls
Aux –
The Auxiliary Send controls the channel signal level sent
to the Aux Output, primarily for use with external effects or audio
processors.
Pre –
The auxiliary send can be configured as either pre - fader
(down) or post - fader (up), determining where in the signal path
the send is sourced from, and how it interacts with the channel's
fader level. Pre
- fader sends are useful when you need to send a
constant signal for monitoring or external processing, while post -
fader sends are beneficial for adding effects rela ve to the
channel's level in the main mix, delays reverbs, etc.
