Groups/AUX Layer
Groups are commonly used to down-mix several channels to a single buss, the “Group.” This allows for global control of the mix
of these channels. Think of the group as being “downstream” from the channels. For example, a drum group may be fed from 16
drum channels and mixed to a group. This mixed group can then be further processed, faded, panned, etc.
• Send to the AUX or Monitors and/or to the Main out.
• Up to 8 plugins per group.
• All group busses are stereo.
AUX busses are used primarily for processing signals that will be sent to monitor outs or other paths. AUX channels can be
sent directly to the main buss, with no need for additional return channels and IO devices. You may choose to process an AUX
buss and then send it to one or more MON busses. This way, you can efficiently perform effects processing that can be used
over several monitor outs. You can also send an AUX to another AUX buss, depending on its position in the signal flow.
