Creating a Headphone Submix

A headphone submix allows you to create a special mix for the musician while
recording. In the example below, a headphone submix has been created from the first
three strips in the mixer using the Aux 2 bus. The three strips are muted to prevent the
audio from going straight through to the main mix—the submix send amounts now act
as the level faders. A reverb effect has been inserted into Aux bus 2 before the Send to
the headphone out.
These three strips are being submixed to Aux Bus 2 which feeds output 2L/2R. The strips are
all muted and the output of Aux 2 is turned all the way down to block the audio from the
main output.
