3 title: Comparing Aux Sends and Subgroups
4 menu_title: Auxes vs. Groups
8 Auxes and Subgroups share a common concept—they both provide a way
9 for one or more tracks (or busses) to send their signal to a single bus so
10 that common signal processing can be applied to the mix of their signals.
14 <dfn>Aux sends</dfn> leave the existing signal routing to the main mix in place,
15 and are typically used to create a separate mix to send to (for example)
16 monitors or headphones (for performer monitor mixes):

22 <dfn>Subgroups</dfn> usually remove the original signal routing to the main mix and replace it with a new one that delivers the output of the subgroup bus to the main mix instead.
