Yamaha MT3X User Manual

USING THE AUX SEND/RTN LOOPS
The MT3X’s AUX 1 and AUX 2 controls function like two secondary mixers that derive their input signals from the
main mixer’s six channels and combine them into mono signals which are delivered via the AUX SND 1 and AUX
SND 2 jacks (refer to the diagram below). You can use the AUX send controls to create two "effect mixes" which are
entirety independent of the main mix, thus applying the required degree of effect to each channel signal. One or both
of the AUX SND signals is sent to the input of an external signal processor (reverb, echo or other effect device), and
the output from the signal processor is returned to the corresponding AUX IN jacks. The level of the signal received at
the AUX IN jacks can be adjusted using the AUX RTN control, and the resulting signal is combined with the MTSX’s
main stereo output signal.
Since the returned effect signal is combined with the mixer’s stereo output signal, the AUX SND/RTN loops are most
ideally suited to adding effects to individual tracks during the final mixdown process.

p NOTE: --—
Since the AUX SEND/RTN loops return the effect
signals to the mixer section’s stereo outputs, effects
can be added to channels during ping-pong record¬
ing as long as the panned channel-to-track assign¬
ment method is used. The AUX SEND/RTN loops
cannot be used to add effects when recording tracks
which have been assigned using the direct channel-
to-track assignment method.
