A mix created to allow musicians to hear themselves, whether onstage or in the studio. Depending on the situation and application, a monitor mix may also be known as foldback, a cue mix, a headphone mix, or other names. In some cases, such as large stage rigs, there may be a separate monitor mixer and monitor mix engineer dedicated to creating and managing the monitor mix. In the studio and with smaller rigs, a pre-fader bus in a mixer is usually used as a monitor mix feed.
