Unfortunately, there are a lot of vocalists who want FX in their monitors -
this deosn't really help them, as it muddys their monitor sound, as well as
not giving them an accurate picture of how they are singing - never
encourage it
You will likely need one channel of your multicore run as a send from an
output on the FOH desk (an aux) to an input on the monitor desk - so if you
have someone singing to a backing track they can hear the track in the
monitors.
You may go as far as having a few sends wired in, so that you have one for
sending track, another for sending FX (if you don't want to buy another
unit, or the vox need a specifc effect), another send for talkback, and
maybe another spare.
What I did in ne venue was have 4 sends set up, that I could use to run 4
channels of monitors from FOH - setting up whatever routing was necessary on
the mons desk to get it to work. was useful on the days we didn't need the
mons engineer, or he was off doing something else - meant i could run
everything from FOH rather than trying to set two desks in line check time.
