Complex tracking setups can combine multiple stereo foldback mixes with mono effects sends, while mix sessions can use stereo Aux paths for parallel processing alongside mono sends for reverbs, delays, and external effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFor greater routing flexibility, Aux 9 and 10 can feed the Track Buses via the channel’s internal EFX bus, allowing multiple channel groups to be built under independent fader control. These can be returned through the Stereo Group Inputs for insert processing, stereo image control, and precise level management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOdyssey’s 16 Track Buses can be fed from either the Large or Small Fader paths, with routing available in mono or as stereo odd\/even pairs following the channel’s mix-bus panning.
