Do you have any examples for "any" desks about how to make the sub-aux track the main L/R?

This was my biggest hassle when I was mixing on analog desks. How would one do it now? Haven't done aux-subs or requested to have it set up that way for years because of that hassle, which I to be honest didn't dive into to make it "functional".

One can also use the mono send for feeding the subs, instead of an aux.
Besides the X32/M32 noted in many replies another way to handle this issue is to have a DCA control both the aux master and the master bus.

I have a Qu Pac and normally run the mains with the AES out into the DBX360 input, works great, sounds clean. When I run the system with aux subs I still use the AES to run the mains and an analog out for subs.

In the DSP I add delay to the AES input to compensate for the additional latency on the analog sub aux input, I can't remember what that delay is right now!

If I'm doing bluegrass/acoustic acts with a larger system I always go with aux subs.

The QU's only have one AES output but it assignable to any of the QU output sources.

I like running aux-fed subs.  Honestly I can't remember the last time I had to adjust the Master fader during a gig, so the tracking of Master and Aux master isn't really an issue.  If I'm mixing a band I have them on a DCA anyway and adjust the volume using said DCA.

Why are you messing with the Stereo main anyway? On any desk that lets me, I hide it away and never touch it. I have mute groups that can mute the desk in an emergency, and after soundcheck I can't recall a time when I have needed the main L/R fader for anything.

On my CL5's I have my money channels on those two right hand side faders.....
