if you route different snare mic channel's outputs to a bus, turning the level of that bus all the way down will make all the snare channels silent. Is that what you want to happen?
Correct Henrik. I want one fader for the snare, kick, toms, etc. to control the overall volume once I have everything set to my liking in the mixer. I usually stack 3-5 snares and send each of them to a bus, so that's a lot of levels to control. I just want to have one fader for the volume when I have everything set right. Hence consolidate the mixer like the title of this thread. Can you tell me how to route the outputs to a bus so I can achieve this? I could probably figure it out but some help would be great. Thanks!
