MIXER MODE
FX/AUX SENDS In this section you can set the FX/AUX send levels and you can also set
whether the sends are pre-fader or post-fader.
Above the PRE/POST controls, it is possible to override the 'global'
FX/AUX bus routing. In the main mixer's GLOBAL page, you can set
whether FX/AUX1, 2, 3 and 4 go to the internal effects or to AUX buses
1-4. Here, however, it is possible to override these individually for each
channel if you want.
When a channel uses the 'global' bus routing, "GLOB" is shown in this
box. However, you can also select FXn, AUX n or OFF. For FX/AUX 3
and 4, you may also select STU L and STU R (i.e. the studio outputs) to
set up a talkback/foldback monitoring mix. A practical example.....
In the GLOBAL page, FX/AUX1 is set to INTERNAL FX. When you
select, say, Input channel 3, it will show GLOB and (FX1) - i.e. that
channel is using the 'global' bus setting which is INTERNAL FX.
However, you can change this to AUX 1 - it will show AUX 1. All the
other channels will show GLOB (FX1) for this send bus but you have
individually overridden this on Input 3. The same can be done for other
channels and sends, of course.
When a pair of sends are configured as a stereo send, the display changes.
Here, AUX 3 and 4 are configured as a stereo send feeding the STUDIO
outputs to facilitate a foldback mix for monitoring in a separate record
area. For further information on setting up the FX/AUX routings, please
refer to the relevant section later in this manual.
NOTE:
By default, the FX/AUX sends for the FX return channels are switched off. This helps conserve
mixer processing. However, you may switch these on if you need to send effects to other effects channels.
