Subject: aux sends ?
Original Message 1/16 10-Jul-01 @ 08:28 PM - aux sends ?
I have got my new mixer and have put my computer to sleep for a while(apart from just now of course). Being used to working in the digital domain I am having a few problems getting my head around the analogue signal paths. I am currently starting to connect up my effects and outboard gear and am a bit confused over the workings of the aux send outputs. There seems to be no return path into the mixer for the six aux outs. Is this normal? I am assuming now that I must tie up six of the input channels with the return signals from the six busses, but I was hoping that someone could maybe shed some light on the subject. As a side subject what effects are most commonly used on the aux busses(multi effects,compressors,reverbs???) and which should be dealt with through the inserts from the built in bantam patchbay.
Any help appreciated.... cheers

as for what to put on the send/return..NOT compressors. compression is an insert thing...
so your multis/reverbs/delays are on the sends so you can use them on more than one signal if you want, but compresors, gates, etc usually are inserted
and actually..if you use six sends, then that is TWELVE channels cuz you want to bring them back in stereo even though you send in mono...

btw, your desk has 32 channel inputs + 24 bus inputs + 24 monitor inputs (bus section is in-line, right?). that makes 80 inputs if i´m not mistaken. thats one hell of a lot...wow.
