Q

When choosing the correct fader path to get your aux split from, you will always choose the path that represents the tape return. Why?

A

So that the headphones and time based processor continue to operate upon playback because the tape return path is always active

Q

When using an aux send to go to a time based processor you would usually send to post fader. Why?

A

So the aux send will follow the action of the tape return fader. Maintaining the wet to dry ratio for a dependent condition
