Pre Fade Sends
When the auxiliary signal is taken before the fader it is
known as a pre-fade send.
Post Fade SendsWhen the aux signal is taken after the fader. This
means that aux send level is affected by a change in
the fader's level.

Insert Points
Auxes & Inserts
An insert point allows you to 'break' the signal path so that the signal can be sent to an external processing unit.
The processed signal is then brought back into the desk to the exact same point at which it left.
