Apologies, complete newbie using this board to control sound system in Bar / social area.

I have 5 aux mixes feeding out into 3, 2 channel amps, that provide TV sound, music, microphones, whatever, to 5 different areas. Each Aux mix controls what is playing, at what level in a given area. This allows us to have the same source at different volumes in different areas or different sources in different areas.

Most of the time however we have the same source playing everywhere. Switching from music to TV sound for example, involves pressing 'Aux 1', sliding down the music fader and up the TV fader, then pressing 'Aux 2', and repeating each step for each of the 5 Aux's.

Is there a way to group them so I can control them together while still outputting the sound through the 5 Aux connections rather to a Master or 6th connection.

Set the auxes to be post fader, and do all source level adjustments in your main mix.

Alternatively: Configure your output busses as matrixes in stead of auxes, and send the main mix to each matrix.
