??reference the difference between a mixed bus, and a mixed matrix in this card and in the mix matrix card??
Mix Bus
Mix Bus: This is designed to group multiple input channels (like vocals, drums, etc.) together. You can adjust the level and processing of each channel within the mix bus before sending it to another destination (like the main outputs, monitors, or effects). You can also choose whether the signal sent to the mix bus comes before (pre-fader) or after (post-fader) the channel fader.
Matrix Bus
This is essentially a “mix of mixes.” It allows you to send the output of any mix bus, another matrix bus, or even individual channels directly to the matrix bus. This gives you more flexibility in routing your signals. However, unlike mix buses, matrix buses typically don’t offer features like pre/post fader selection or individual channel processing within the matrix itself.
Pre-Fader Send:
This captures the signal before it reaches the channel fader. The volume of the channel in the main mix doesn’t affect the volume sent to the mix bus.
- This is useful for monitor mixes.
Effects Sends: Sending a consistent level of signal to an effects processor, regardless of the channel fader position.
Submixes: Creating a submix (like drums) with independent level control in the submix itself, regardless of the individual drum channel faders.
Parallel Processing: Sending a pre-fader signal for parallel compression or other creative effects.
Post-Fader Send:
This captures the signal after it has passed through the channel fader. The level of the channel in the main mix directly affects the amount sent to the mix bus. This is useful for:
Monitor Sends: Sending a mix to stage monitors that reflects the balance you’ve created in the main mix.
Group Processing: Sending a post-fader signal for compression or other processing that should be affected by the channel fader position.
