Re: Mixer Questions

["Sound Mind" <soundmind@pandora.be>]

I own a Behringer 2642, and as a budget minded amateur, I'm very happy with
it.  For the price, you can't get that features on any other.  I've got it
three years now, and it still works fine.  Mind you, it almost never left
the house.  A friend of mine moved it regurarly, and has had problems with
his one.

There are aux sends on fX returns that will do the job.

I would go straight into the Vortex from the sub outs
