Well....when using the aux PRE-Fader, any movements of the channel fader you make will NOT affect the send amount, but will still be routed normally to the mix bus. If you have this fader down, obviously the 'dry' signal is not being sent to the mix bus, and you will only be monitoring your aux return, which will be a tapped off portion of the original signal. The thing is, you are not sending the signal through the compressor, only a selected amount/ copy of it...so ultimately the compressor is not being used to it's full potential.....
I guess I too am a little sketchy on the exact technical reasons, as I am no pro (yet!), still only a student.....And yes, I too may be completely wrong about this. Can somebody out there confirm/elaborate?????
The Mackie desks are quite reasonanly priced Ajmagard....Im sure you could pick up a S/H 1202VLZ Pro quite cheaply.....
Anyways, hope I wasnt too rude or pigheaded with my explanations before. I dont understand alot of it either....
Cheers!
