Auxes and Subgroups share a common concept — they both provide a way
|
|
for one or more tracks (or busses) to send their signal to a single bus so
|
|
that common signal processing can be applied to the mix of their signals.

|
|
<dfn>Aux sends</dfn> leave the existing signal routing to the main mix in place,
|
|
and are typically used to create a separate mix to send to (for example)
|
|
monitors or headphones (for performer monitor mixes):

|
<dfn>Subgroups</dfn> usually remove the original signal routing to the main mix and
|
|
replace it with a new one that delivers the output of the subgroup bus to
|
|
the main mix instead.
