Pre-Fader Sends
Both on a traditional mixing desk or a modern DAW, aux sends are
used to generate a separate monitor mix. Just as you would send sounds
at different levels to an effects bus, aux sends split each track off from the
main mix. This new sub-mix is routed to the performers' headphones, providing
a dedicated blend of instruments explicitly tailored for the players.
To ensure the performer's mix is not affected by any level changes or
tweaking done to the Main/CR rough mix, the sends used for the performers'
mix must be split off before each track's signal goes through
the channel fader (used to generate the CR mix). By default, most
sends usually pull the signal out post-fader (like for reverb effects), but
they can be switched to pre-fader status, perfect for a monitor mix.

DAW Monitor Mix
When doing a band session in a DAW, there are several ways to
generate a performer's monitor mix. It can be dialed up in the DAW's
virtual mixer, setting up a row of pre-fader sends. The independent
mix dialed up on those sends must then be routed to a headphone
distribution amp for the performers' headphones. Naturally, this will
require additional outputs on the interface over and above the main
stereo outputs. Most interfaces with enough inputs (typically 8+) for a
multi-track band recording will also have a corresponding number of
outputs that can be used to distribute the monitor mix to the players.
So, for example, a row of sends might be routed to a bus feeding an
aux channel whose output would be routed to, say, output 3-4 on the
interface, which will then feed the headphone amp.

Some DAWs may include convenience features when setting up a
monitor mix via aux sends. For example, the mixer in Logic has a feature
where you can quickly copy the already dialed-up CR mix on the
main channel faders to a row of pre-fader sends to save time-that mix
can then be quickly customized for the performers' needs. The Logic
mixer also provides the option to temporarily assign the main channel
faders to control the send levels of a monitor mix to make it easier to
tweak that mix without having to use the tiny send level knobs.
Interface Monitor Mix
Besides using pre-fader sends in the DAW's virtual mixer, many
audio interfaces offer the option of setting up a monitor mix in their
own dedicated software utility. This can pull incoming signals and
set up a monitor mix even before the live signals go to the DAW.
