Nm...answered my question.

You don't need to rearrange.  Just put that channel in the drum Pop Group and DCA, and it will always be next to the others.

While POP and VCA group fader recall gets the channels in question laid out in front of you, the last time I toured with a Midas desk (this past summer) there was no way to change the ordering of the faders themselves.  For example, mid-tour we added another floor tom and it landed at the very end of my channel list.  When I added it to my drum VCA group it ended up at the end of the group of faders rather than after the first floor tom, which would have been my preferred placement. 

The Digico allows you to lay out faders one-by-one in any order you want.  Additionally, faders can appear on the surface multiple times.  This is not the same as patching one XLR socket to multiple faders, it's the exact same processing channel appearing multiple times.  I often use this to keep my lead vocal (or vocals) in the same couple of faders in the right bank no matter what fader layer I choose.

Also,  Digico has the "Multi"  function where you can bunch  a number of channels into one. You get metering for upto 10(i think) of the channels and you end up using only one fader in the console.
 
I use it for drums amd Percussion since that does not change a lot. Can fit the whole bad on the left of an SD9 if its good ol' rock n' roll!

Oh and going stereo does not reduce the bus count on the Digico. Damn useful when the whole bamd is going in-ears.

On the avid, you run out of busses pretty fast going stereo on auxes and saving some for audio groups.

Edit: spelling

The easy fader organization is awesome on the SDs.

If you go to the top of the aux send and click there is a button labeled Mix Presets, click on that and you can do exactly what you are asking , it will create a preset for just that auxes send levels.  you can then not worry about a snapshot affecting the rest of your console.

I'm not familiar with this Mix Presets thing. Can you elaborate?

Excellent! Thank you. I assume that these presets can be easily modified and recalled via snapshots.

So you're saying the card was in the sd7 surface?  Care to share what band was carrying this or who the engineer was?

It was the Killers supplied by Delicate, so I suspect the console was Hi-Tech Audio's.

[Chip Sciacca]

they can indeed.   in the mix presets window there is an update button.

Don't listen to anything Chip says, he's just the US Tech Support Rep for Digico... not like he really knows the desks or anything.
