Happy (belated) Independence Day to those of us in The U.S!
as I start week 3 of fiddling around with my AX8 (New to fractal, anything with amp/cab sims) I've arrived to a point where I'm happy at home & rehearsal for the time being sound wise..& am getting an understanding of AX8-Edit & Frac-Pad but I'm curious...
Output 1 has XLR L & R & 2- 1/4'' Outs.
Output 2 has 2 - 1/4'' Outs.
currently I am using the Main L XLR from output 1 to go into my Powered monitor (just picked up an EV-ZLX12P to get a feel for things) before this monitor I used the Main L from output 1 to go into our PA.
my question is, moving forward because of the output 1 & output 2 volume knobs on the AX8 itself...what's the "industry standard" as far as running your outs..?
I read in the manual that the XLR outs from output 1 should go to a mixer/monitor but I've also read within this group how some folks run their output 1 to their monitor onstage & send the signal from the monitor out to the FOH....simultaneously I've also read how people send XLR L&R to the FOH & Output 2 to their on stage reference monitor....
what would you guys & gals consider the "best practice"?
(if it involves utilizing output 2) would I have to add another chain in my setup or is there a duplicate signal being sent to all outputs that only becomes enabled when something is plugged in/the corresponding knob is turned up..?
thanks in advanced!
