How to mix effects with all the inputs with aux send/return

Uh..Please elaborate on this! Do you seek instructions/descriptions of the various ways to operate aux and effect sends/returns on an analog console?

Clumsy

The following is clumsy: the signal produced by the mixer will usually be sent directly to an amplifier, unless that particular mixer is “powered” or it is being connected to powered speakers.

Functionally, the mixer output is always sent to an amplifier and the amplifier output to speakers. If the amplifier happens to be physically part of the mixer (a powered mixer) or the speakers (powered speakers) then so be it.

sugestion need terms defined

I know this is not the cool thing to do, but I found alot of words with definitions at this link. check it out http://www.sweetwater.com/shop/studio/preamps/glossary.php. I know that you are not supposed to copy and paste so, I didn't but maybe some one with a little more time could take a look at this page and put the information into their own words. Note the term direct out, we have it listed here on Wikipedia but it is not defined.

History?

I'm not in a position to provide this information myself, but it would be very interesting to have a section about, or at least references to, the origins and evolution of mixing consoles. JanGB (talk) 23:19, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
