Here are some answers for you:1. You can send a signal to a bus with EQ and without dynamics. To do this, you will need your dynamics to be after the EQ in your signal chain for the channel and choose a &quot;Post EQ&quot; send to the mix bus.2. When configured this way, the S16 mirrors the outputs on the back of the X32. This is because &quot;OUT 1-8&quot; &amp; &quot;OUT 9-16&quot; send the signals assigned on the &quot;analog out&quot; page of the ROUTING menu, which is also what feeds the 16 XLR outputs. 3. As you mention, there are a few different opinions on this. The point is that you don&#039;t want to clip at all in the digital domain, so 0dB is your ceiling. In the analog world peaks often well above 0, by 10dB or more, and this often is where some of the best analog consoles shine. The reason for setting input gains to -18dB or -12dB is to leave yourself that same headroom you have in the analog world. How much headroom you need will depend on the dynamics of your band, but I would agree with -18dB as a good starting point.Hope it helps!

You can send a signal to a bus with EQ and without dynamics. To do this, you will need your dynamics to be after the EQ in your signal chain for the channel and choose a "Post EQ" send to the mix bus. 2.

This is because "OUT 1-8" & "OUT 9-16" send the signals assigned on the "analog out" page of the ROUTING menu, which is also what feeds the 16 XLR outputs. 3.
