Pre-fadeaux 1-4 sends are sourced after the channel insert, mute and EQ, but before the channel fader. As a result, the actual level sent to the aux bus is proportional to the aux send control only.

Post-fadeaux sends are sourced after the channel insert, mute, EQ and fader. As a result, the actual level sent to the aux bus is proportional to the aux send control and the channel fader.
