Send to Group

Hi all,

I would like a guitar panned to center on one fader,
and this same guitar on the next two faders panned left/right (with a slight delay on one of the two).

All this to sometimes raise the first fader, sometimes the other two, depending on the passages where the guitar must be mono or stereo.

I thought to send the guitar “center” in 2 mono groups which would return to the two next strips

The big advantage is that when I make a correction on the main guitar (Preamp, Gate, Eq, Comp) I don’t have to copy these settings each time on the other two strips .

Do you know how to send in a group in “Pre” fader?
because when I lower my mono guitar, it also lowers it in groups (and I no longer have a stereo guitar),
and it seems that the “Pre Fade” button does not work on group sends.

Another solution, use one or more Aux Sends to send this guitar in Pre Fader,
but how to route an aux to a console channel (or to a group)
without converting and re-converting the signal (remaining in digital)?

and also, I would like to preserve the 3 Matrix.

Many Thanks !

From what I am understanding, I think a DCA would be an easier option in this case. Just add the 3 guitar channels to the DCA, and use the DCA to control the overall guitar level, and the individual channels to control the stereo/mono relationship.

What about ganging the EQ, compressors, gate?

yes, Ganging!!! why didn’t I think of that? This the right way.

PS. do you know how to place the Insert at the end of the chain (after comp) on one Input?

There is only one insert point in SQ, which is situated after the gate.
