The point for accessing audio just after it leaves a specific
channel component, for example, ‘post-fader’, where the audio is tapped
from just after it leaves the channel’s main level control.
Pre-:
The point for accessing audio just before it reaches a specific module, for
example, ‘pre-EQ’, where the audio is tapped from just before it gets to a
