And finally the Fader or level control is the slide control that allows you to adjust the amount of signal that appears ion the main mix. While the trim control is used to adjust all of the incoming signal levels to be nearly the same, the fader allows you to adjust the relative levels of each channel being mixed to the master mix buss. Usually adjacent to the channel fader, are the Submix sends, which allow you to assign the channel strips to the master subgroup faders. For example you may wish to assign all of the drums and percussion to one group and the background vocals to another. This method of mixing enables you to control the relative levels of groups of microphones with just one fader in the master or control section.
The features of the master or Control section of the mixing console generally act as output level controls for their designated output connectors, one exception being the Aux Return master(s) since those jacks are inputs. Aside from that, everything does exactly what its name implies. Check the owners manual for your specific console for more detailed information on any of these features.
The Sub Group masters regulate the Sub mix or Group output levels, which are assigned by each channel strip. When a console is properly adjusted it is possible to mix entirely from the Sub Group faders which each control entire groups of input channels. The Main output(s) regulates the output of the MAIN, SUM or MONO buss where the outputs of the Sub or Group busses or Left & Right stereo master busses get mixed down into a single signal which is delivered to the amplification system.
The Aux Send masters regulate the output level of all of the channel strips, which are sending signal via the Aux Send. This control is used to set the output level of the signal being delivered to effects rocessors, recording devices, etc. The Aux Return masters regulate the input levels of their designated RETURN jacks such as the signal being returned from an effects processor. The effects return offers a convenient method to blend the level of the effects device back into the main mix.
