I got a question: so the auxes here are just used for the personal mixes of the musicians, right?, not to what the audience is hearing and what about the time-based effects that need to be sent post when you don't have enough auxiliaries?, what would you do in that case?
@joab302016 You can, but you have to be creative about it. You can take the effects return and plug it into a channel. Then you can use that channels aux sends to send reverb into that channel. And you can use the main slider to add effects to the room.
@motojeff Hi there! Thanks for your help. I now have figured out how to make it work. I took the mixer home with me today and experimented on it. What I did before why the AUX are not getting any effects(reverb) is because while I am testing it I cut off completely the sliders down while adjusting the AUXes for effects. What I discovered is that in order for the AUX to get effects in its busses is to not to completely cut off the channel sliders.
whats the cheapest way to gain more monitor mixes? we have 4 aux sends and the other two which are post fader we use for reverb/effects and the other subwoofer, so we only have 4 mixes for monitors. Usually thats plenty, but we use in ear, and I need for channels for monitors! Suggestions?
You could get an 8 channel headphone mixer amp, and use the direct outs or put a 1/4 cable into the insert jack on each channel to the first click. If you go all the way in, it will intercept the signal.
how to make the verb go to the aux send for the singer as well as FOB
my band did 250 shows onne year and we always pointed our amps in to us the sound guys loved us and we heard every thing great .I dont under stand why bands dont get that
You are a champion. Excellent tutorial. The one thing I was wondering was for dynamics. I understand the reverb units would need to be post fade but would a compressor be better pre fade so you can EQ the compressed sound or is that generally not smart?
i definately agree with you about loud guitar amps. it seems every other time I go to a venue to do sound i get 2 fullstacks pointed at the audience and of course they dont want to turn them down because it gives them that "driving tone." Its my worst nightmare to have to run vocal PAs with kick and snare because the PA cant compete with the guitar amps. a good tip, similar to what you sugested, is to side wash the amps. put the amps on the side of the stage pointing in instead of at crowds.

Can you put effects like reverb on Aux bus?
My problem is that our Yamaha EMX5014C mixer seems to not include effects in the AUX bus. Can you explain that to me. Thanks.

send the re-verb into a mixer channel and just add it back to the monitor send, use the channel out to send it to the mains.

That's not how you use dynamic processing, you don't send audio to the unit like FX, you insert the unit into the desired channel or group.

or in front pointed up at them,
- I tell the band that if they refuse to turn down that no one will hear the vocals and I will do my best but am not responsible if it sucks.

Excellent point about amp aiming and overall stage volume- this is something even few professionals think about.
