4.6.1 Aux Mixes
As its name implies, an Aux mix allows you to create an alternate, or “auxiliary,” mix
that can be routed to an output separate from the Mains. Aux buses have many
applications, the two most common of which are creating monitor mixes and
inserting external effects processors into the mix. When you turn up the aux send
level on a channel, its signal is sent to the corresponding aux output at the level you
choose. In this way, the same channel can be used to create several alternate mixes to
the main mix.
