Monitor Returns

[Craig Allen]

I've read thru the manual and didn't see a way to do this - can you feed a monitor return from the FOH return? What I want to do is have verb in the monitors without having to patch a 2nd verb on the monitor mixer. Right now I'm doing this by assigning my FOH verb to two outputs and one of those outputs is using the same hardware as the monitor outs. But I can't control the verb levels on the monitor mixer this way. Am I missing something or is it not possible?

This seems to be a common question lately.

Make sure your return channel(s) on the monitor mixers have an ouput selected, otherwise it wont pass any audio through the return.

[Craig Allen]

I do, and it works as expected. I just want the FOH aux to feed a monitor return. Is that possible?

Switch to a monitor mixer and go to a Return Chan... now look at the Return Source options... yes... you can select the FOH or Mon Mixer 1 as the source signal... pre or pst fdr.

When setting up the return, change Input Source from Virtual to either Pre Fdr or Pst Fdr to tap off the FOH return at Pre or Post fader.

Good deal, that's what I wanted - I missed that when looking.

Imagine all the virtual "patch cables" that are in this software. :eek:

Seriously. I wonder if the price of the patch cables you end up not needing alone is more than the cost of SAC.
