Pre-compression tap point for monitoring

In 90% of live music situations, you want the performer to hear themselves uncompressed so that they make good dynamic decisions and/or don’t strain their voice fighting a compressor. But everyone else should hear that channel post-compression so that they’re playing along with the channel as it’s feeding FOH. Both sides of this become more important the more you’re reducing dynamic range with the compressor. This requires multiple pre-fader tap points.

The X32/X Air both allow this, and it’s one reason I prefer them over almost any other board for occasions where I’m running monitors and FOH from a single console. I wish the Wing could do this too.
