Pre or post fader?

Post by Jonix » Mon Jul 14, 2025 7:51 pm

Ok. Hey all.

Going to finally get a new mixer to replace my trusty little folio notepad. Planning to use some dubbing techniques (not full on dub mixes but just incorporate it into my music).

500 is my max budget. I can get by with 3 aux but am unsure if each mixer channel needs a pre/ post switch? Many of the mixers in this price range seem to have a universal switch for all channels.

Why I think it might matter? - If I want a channel with aux set to pre and it’s return channel set to post so I can use the fader to control the amount of effect.

Is the aux send on the instrument channel typically set to pre or post? Pre would enable just the effect to be heard on the return channel post would not?

I hope this makes sense. Thanks for taking time to read .
