Understanding Group Masters

Group Masters are faders that are dedicated control-
lers. No signal actually passes through them - they
merely control a group of slave faders. The benefit of
using a Group Master instead of a regular mixer
channel as a master fader is that you don't waste a
mixer channel controlling your slaves.
There are eight dedicated Group Masters.
They show up in the Return/Group preset fader bank
(pictured here—press the
section to reach this screen).
