The case for Pre-Fader Effects Sends

[LeeSteel]

Well, after another public outing with the DL, I realized another limitation with the DL that has not been such a limitation with other rigs in the past. Please feel free to weigh in.

In the past, I would have used pre-fader aux sends to deliver drums, especially snare, to my reverb unit. This way, if the drummer is a "hard hitter", I can add reverb effected snare to the mix without turning up the dry sound of the snare any louder. 

The only way I can figure out how to replicate this is to use an AUX send and patch it into a channel.

Any thoughts?

I've already posted that I need this for horns for the same reason - They are often loud enough to carry the room but need 'verb on them so just 'verb in the mains and 'verb plus a little foldback in the monitors.

Sorry for re-posting then. I must have missed it and it just didn't hit me until I needed to have snare-verb without so much snare.

No need to be sorry - the more we post about it here the more likely that Mackie (if they are watching) or Behringer (I'm sure they are ) will incorporate it in their firmware . One way or the other we'll end up with it .
