Sending F/X returns to a stereo input ch

I’m fairly new to the console and what I’m looking to do is send f/x out to a stereo input channels
so I’m able to add it to a monitor mix as an f/x aux. But I’m not able to patch the f/x outputs to
Auxes it can only go to the dedicated f/x return from what I can see.

To answer your question, you can pick FX outputs in the “source select” area of the “preamp” tab on the “processing” screen.

There’s no need to use regular input channels for that, though. If you select the FX return channels and go to the “routing” screen, you can send them to monitor mixes the same as any other channel. Just be sure you have the FX return channel selected, not the FX send, or the routing screen will show you what’s being sent to that particular FX unit.
