Broadcast consoles have some special features that you
would't
find on typical music consoles. For broadcast, you will want
to be able to listen to something before it goes on air (pfl),
while for recording a post-fader solo is much more useful.
Another feature you will not find on standard mixers is an
N-1 feed (main mix minus one channel), for example to send
back over a telephone line, or to a outside broadcast location.
Err live boards do have both pre-fade and post-fade solo/cue busses
depending on the board. IN fact it is very useful to pre-cue things as
needed or ensure that something is working correctly.
The N-1 feature I didnt know about though and is not something I have come
across on any live board though.
