Wet or Dry Monitor?
A multi-track recording setup example (See PG 25 of owners manual)
Usually, you will not record wet (with reverb) onto your multitrack master. You can’t undo it later. However, it is nice to hear a little echo on the tracks as you are working, and with the 8oBus Series, you have the option of wet monitoring.
Since you are using MIX-B as your monitor sub-mix, you should derive the reverb send from the same source. When the SOURCE button next to Sends 3/4/5/6 is depressed but the PRE button is not, the sends are connected after the MIX-B level
control and make great wet monitor reverb sends. Once you have your sends happening, you can assign the return from your reverb into the head-phone
cues by using Stereo Returns 3 or 4, which can directly assign into the phones. (Even if you are using Send 6, there is no reason not to patch the output of the reverb into Returns 3 & 4. The Send and Return numbers do not have to match.)
