Sends & Returns Key
This key affects global settings for the master send
and return levels of the four stereo Aux Send and two
stereo Aux Return buses. The outputs can be turned
On or Off and can be sent to the preview speakers and
headphones (if preview is enabled in headphones).
Element’s Aux buses can be used as utility buses for
mixing, for constructing custom IFB mixes, or as effects
buses for production. Pressing the Sends & Returns
key once takes you to the Aux Sends Master screen
(Figure 4-16); pressing it twice displays the Aux Re-
turns Master screen (Figure 4-17), and pressing a third
time exits the menu.
Aux Sends Master screen options:
The Send A/B/C/D SoftKnobs, when rotated,
set the Master Send Gain for each Aux Send bus.
Pushing any of these knobs toggles that individu-
al Aux Send Master On or Off.
The Select/Preview knob allows you to hear
any of the four Aux Send mixes in the Preview
channel. Push to preview; releasing to end the
preview.
