Hi, is it possible to use the individual outs on the 5000 as FX sends and then bring the combined return back in using the inputs and audio thru?

I'd like to keep the full dry signal going to the stereo outs too. So I'd have the main mix with all sounds etc. going to the main stereo outs, but extra copies (sends) going out of the individual outs too, into external fx units, and then back into the main mix via the inputs and audio thru.

Is this possible?

I'd also like to use the Qlink faders/pots to control the amount of signal to send to each output (just like you would have send pots on a mixing desk).

I know I could easily use a desk for this - but saves the cost of a desk.

Thanks
