Monitor Layer
Channels can be sent to any of 16 Monitor channels. Auxes can be patched directly to the main buss, with no need for
additional return channels, or to the matrix and I/O devices.
Effects and Monitor channels are very
similar in most Layer Modes, but their
signal flows differ slightly. Monitor channels
are typically used for monitor feeds.
Signals are sent from channels and
busses. These aux monitor channels will be
mixed and then assigned directly to
outputs. Each monitor aux can have up to
eight plugins, so effects such as reverb,
delay, or other processes can be added to
an aux buss before they are routed to the
Main out.
Smaller SoundGrid Studio configurations do not provide Monitor channels. If needed, some AUX busses can be used as monitor
outputs (within limitations of available sources). In addition, monitor busses can be used for more effects processing and routed
to the main mix rather than a monitor (IO device).
Sending to AUX and Monitor busses is discussed in the Mixer Mode section of this chapter
