Use auxes to control channel strip output

You can send the output of multiple channel strips to an aux (auxiliary channel strip) and then
use the aux to control the volume level and pan position of the channel strips. Sending the
output to an aux is also useful for adding EQ or compression to a group of patches.

When you send channel strip output to an aux, the volume fader of the channel strip controls
how much of the signal is sent to the aux.

When you control the output of multiple channel strips using an aux, their relative volume levels
and pan positions are preserved, but the overall volume level and pan position are modified by
the aux Volume fader and Pan knob.
