To create an Aux Mix:
1. Press the Mix/FX Master button. This will bring up the FlexMix Masters onto
the channel strips.
2. Press the Select button for the FlexMix Master you’d like to make an Aux
Mix.
3. Press the Settings button on the Master Control Touchscreen.
4. Press the Aux button under FlexMix Mode.
Pre/Post Channel Sends
You can select the send positions for the channels routed to each Aux mix. By default,
all aux buses are set to Pre 1. This places the send of every input channel to each aux
bus before the fader, limiter, EQ, and compressor, but after the Polarity Invert switch,
high-pass filter, and gate.
From the FlexMix settings menu, you can choose between three send positions for
your mix:
Pre 1: Sends each channel to the Aux bus after the polarity invert, high-pass filter,
and gate.
Pre 2: Sends each channel to the aux bus after all Fat Channel processing (polarity
invert, high-pass filter, gate, compressor, EQ, and limiter) but before the fader.
Post: Sends each channel to the Aux bus after all Fat Channel processing (polarity
invert, high-pass filter, gate, compressor, EQ, and limiter), and after the fader.
Power User Tip: Use the Pre 2 position for headphone and in-ear mixes to give your
performers a polished “studio” sound. This setting should be avoided for floor wedges, as
compression can cause feedback problems.
