What is the default setting/signal flow for the first two sends on the Venice console?

The default setting for the first two sends on the Venice console being Post-Fader/Post-EQ is significant because it allows for more control over the signal being sent to auxiliary channels. When a send is set to Post-Fader, the level of the signal being sent will follow the changes made to the channel's fader. This means that if the fader is brought down, the level of the signal being sent to the auxiliary mix will also decrease accordingly. This is particularly useful in live sound situations where the engineer may want the effects or monitor mix levels to adjust automatically with the main mix levels.

Additionally, being Post-EQ means that the signal being sent is processed through the channel's equalization settings. This allows the engineer to shape the tone of the signal before it is sent to effects or monitors, ensuring that the sound being amplified or processed retains the desired character based on the channel's EQ adjustments. This setting enhances the overall mix by allowing for more cohesive sound blending in both monitor and effects sends.
