hey, welcome to HRC.

your Aux and Groups are different sets of outs, aux can be routed to like external effects loops and such, and groups will allow you to group one or more tracks together on your board and send them al out the same outs, while sending something else to like your main outs.

The aux channels can also be used for monitor mixes and the like, but so can the group buses.

Here I use the group buses for routing individual channels to inputs on my audio interfaces. I use the aux sends to route different monitor signals to headphones. Occasionally I will route them to outboard processor's.

And ya, Welcome to HRC. If you need a more in depth answer let us know.

If you want to add some different effects to your signals, like reverb, delay, etc., you can put the processor on the aux loop, and turn up each channel's aux send to send your signal to the effects.

aux means "generic" meaning, you can use them for what ever you want....in a live situation, you can use them to create individual monitor mixes on the stage for every member....ever hear 'em say "i need more me in my monitor"?

that's what your aux sends are for...this is a level that you can send to a buss....so if you don't want any signal to go out aux 1, turn the send on the channel strip down all the way...it's like having a whole 'nother mixer.
