I'm wondering if I can use a AUX send and a Monitor (Headphone) out as the same thing?
Can an AUX Send be used as a headphone out? -- From what I've seen online this is the case.
Can a Headphone out be used as an AUX Send (with the 'return' being back through to another input channel)? -- This makes sense to me but I'm not seeing anything online for it.
Use case: I'm looking at mixers and want flexibility but desk space is limited. I'm okay with a 16 channel mixer but a 22 or more is probably too much for me to handle. I'm liking the Zoom L-12 but it doesn't have AUX sends. However it has 5 headphone outs which can have the own mix. Isn't this the same?
Also I'm considering the Soundcraft 12MTK but it has only 1 headphone out and two AUX and one FX. I'd like to be able to use these as headphone outs if I went this way.
I'd like to get a six-AUX or more board but pushing the $800 mark or above (1250$ for the requisite Allen & Heath) is going to be a one way ticket to the wife's detention center and a revocation of any rights to a comfortable living arrangement
Use Case:
I want to be able to control my EQ on a board and THEN send the signals into my macOS, through Loopback, and then into OBS for streaming. I'm wanting Loopback to ensure I can separate the mic's out and not have just one "audio device". I specifically DO NOT want to have to adjust my EQ via some digital software on my mac. So, I'm really REALLY wanting a post-fader option for a multitrack digital recorder -- which apparently seems to be a massively tall order (SMH).
Thoughts?
