A method to set up a headphone mix when recording, is to send (pre-fader) all the tracks in your session to a bus and then create a new aux track with that bus as input. The output of the aux track could be the physical output that goes to the headphone (solo safed) but it's interesting that it is our Main Outs instead, so that we can hear the musician's mix when necessary soloing that track. In that case the physical output is a send (pre).
It seems that the reasoning is not straightforward when it comes to effects (For example, the vocalist wants to hear a reverb). There's a subtle difficulty.
When the effects send in the vocal track is set to pos-fader as usual, if I modify its fader level, the vocalist will hear a change in the effects level and worse: whenever I solo any track, the musician won't hear the effect anymore! I believe that's the way the default templates are set up.
A solution would be to have the effects send as pre fader, just when recording. The consequence is that I don't have the audio and effect level linked anymore in my Main Outs and also I would have to be careful not to hear the effect 2 times when I solo the headphone aux, because the effects return aux track would still be playing if it's solo safed.
I know it's just a matter of a rough mix for the musician, but it's a little annoying that things are not so elegant. I would like to know how do you manage the routings for monitor mixes dealing with effects in such a way that it's possible to listen what the musician is listening to. Thanks .. and feel free to correct any terrible english mistake I might have made :p
