Routing to Other Mix Busses
The principles of reciprocal bus routing can be applied to any
mix bus – Aux, Group, Master or Matrix. However, only Auxes
and Matrix outputs have a separate send level. For more details
on mix bus sends see Page 163.
Summary
There are many ways of working, and the table on Page 162
describes exactly what each Fader or Smart Panel controller
will adjust when different channel types are selected.
However, if most of the time you are mixing to your Master (PA
output) and only occasionally working with Reverse Assign,
follow these simple rules:
1. Set up your bus routing using either Forward or Reverse
assign; you can set any starting send levels as you go!
Once you are mixing, take care with the SEL buttons as follows:
2. For Front of House mixing keep an input channel
selected most of the time.
This way your input, Group, Master and Matrix faders are
always controlling their main mix and output levels.
3. Switch to Reverse bus assign when you want to quickly
set up a mix to an aux – press SEL on the Aux and set
your mix from the input faders.
4. When you are finished, press SEL on any input fader to
return to the normal main level input fader mode.
Fader Mode Preferences
If you wish you can change the fader mode from the General
Preferences window, see Page 428. The options are:
• Dual – as described above; when an Aux is selected,
input faders act as aux sends. Conversely, when an
input is selected, Aux faders control the aux sends.
• In - input channel faders always control main level and
not Aux send level.
• Aux - Aux channel faders always control Aux master
level and never Aux send levels.
