CHANNELS > AUX SENDS
Aux Outputs (short for Auxiliary) are the outputs on the top right of the Ui hardware. These outputs each
have their own mix of input sources, separate from the master mix. Generally, aux outputs are used for
musicians to hear their own mix on stage via a stage monitor speaker or to headphone amplifiers for in-ear
monitoring. Alternatively, the aux outputs can be sent to external hardware FX units.
AUX SENDS is where the aux mixes are created - these can be for monitor outputs, for external FX sends, and
more. They have dedicated outputs on the Ui hardware. The aux faders have orange level indicator lines and
determine how much of each input channel is contributed to the Aux bus. Ui24R has 8 main Aux busses
available.You can view all aux contributions from a single channel by navigating to that channel's EDIT page and
selecting the AUX SENDS screen / tab.
Select the AUX tab you wish to mix (AUX 1 to AUX 8), and then adjust the channel volumes (contributions from
input channels). The AUX SEND fader on the right (orange fader) is the Aux Master channel fader - the
overall output volume for your AUX mix.
Aux Master channel faders can be viewed together either with the AUX MASTERS button in the Tablet version
Slideout panel, or from the JUMP TO option in the phone software slideout panel. You can also scrolling to the
right-hand end of the Mix page channels. Aux Master channels can be renamed and stereo-linked (see below).
STEREO AUX
Stereo-linking channels is possible for both the input channel sends and the Aux Masters. To stereo link Auxes,
use the Aux Master channel sub-menu (long-click/tap on the channel name).
Go to the channel pop-up menu (long click channel name) to access the Stereo Link feature. When 2 mono input
channels are stereo-linked on the main MIX page, those channels will also be stereo-linked on the AUX SENDS
page. (2 channels panned left & right with a green link line above the dB display).
FX ON AUX
It is possible to send FX to your aux mix. Scroll to the end of the channel list and you will see the FX RETURN
faders.When adding the FX you are adding a global FX signal from the main mix.
