Aux Sends 3 and 4 (labeled AUX 3/4 on the mixer) are derived post-fader, which
means that any changes in level in the fader will also change the Aux levels as well.
The Auxiliaries are normally used as effects sends and are connected to whatever
outboard effects that are available (reverbs, chorus, multi-effects processors, delays)
to be blended into the mix.
Both Auxes receive signal from the Channel fader only. If CHAN/MON REVERSE is
in its up position, the Channel fader is controlling signal from MIC IN or LINE IN
and this will be the signal going to AUX 3/4 on that Channel. If CHAN/MON
REVERSE is in its down position, the Channel fader is controlling signal from TAPE
IN and this will be the signal going to AUX 3/4 on that Channel.
Note: If you want to use a separate effect on a single channel, use the INSERT jacks,
not the Aux Sends (see next section).
To connect the Aux Sends and Stereo Aux Returns to outboard effects:
1
Connect the Aux Sends AUX 3 and AUX 4 to the input or inputs of your
outboard effects devices (like the Alesis Wedge or Midiverb 4). See the next page
for more information about using stereo inputs (or not).
2
Connect the Outputs of these effects devices back into the Studio 24’s dedicated
inputs, called STEREO AUX RETURNS. There are four  1/4" STEREO AUX
RETURN connectors (labeled in pairs as A and B on the top panel), enough for
two stereo, four mono, or any combination of mono and stereo devices.
You can use any Aux Returns you wish, but most people connect the outputs of the
unit being fed by Aux Send 3 into Stereo Aux Return A and plug the unit fed by Aux
Send 4 into Stereo Aux Return B. Either or both Returns may be assigned to Groups
1/2 for routing to the multitrack or to the L/R Main mix (which is the most common
assignment for effect returns).
You can also mix some of the Aux Return signal to the MON 1/2 mix by using the
purple MON 1/2 level knobs in the STEREO AUX RETURNS section.
