Thanks for clearing this up. I couldn't get playback through my headphones off my SD card. Isn't that kinda weird though to have to go to the Inputs and change them over? Wouldn't it be better to just have a dedicated master SD card/Bluetooth to headphone output option?

So for the recording of a virtual sound check, I should use the Post Preamp (early recording) So when I play it back, the processing get's applied to the recording. That way, if I adjust the sound of the recording, and then switch back to analog, it will adjust the analog instruments? Is this correct? (If I record the processing, and the play it back, it will double apply EQ, and effects? Or am I missing that wrong?

In the USB /SD/Bluetooth tab you also need to switch the Stream mode to "Multitrack"
