@ozdoc
Thank you so much! You helped me a lot.
The option of setting the monitor mix layer to be post fade works just fine. That’s exactly what I was looking for.

Hi Shola,

Thank you for the explanation.
I figured out how to get the effect on the AUX and my MixPad config looks exactly the same as on your screenshot.
The only thing that I couldn’t figure out is why when I turn down the input channel fader on the MIX LR, the effect on the AUX is gone.
Based on Keith’s explanation I understood that it’s happening because the FX sends from the input channels are set to post fader by default, so when I adjust the level of an input channel in the main LR mix, the level of the send to the FX unit is also adjusted.

@dave Meadowcroft That’s exactly what I did – pulled the mic fader down on the LR mix, but in this case the effect disappears from the monitor mix.

Keith, thank you very much for the explanation.
I think I got the point… or correct me if I’m wrong 🙂
The key from what you explained is: Your mix to the monitor is made up of a pre-fade send from the input channel which is the main input in the LR mix (?). I thought, when I select the AUX mix the mic signal is coming directly from the mic input no matter what is the mic input level in the LR and then it works same way like in the LR mix – I’m sending the mic signal to the FX unit and receive the wet signal back from the FX with the FX returns.
What I wanted to test is let’s say I decide to mute the vocal channel in the main LR mix but still have it in the monitor including effects.
