Thanks for the reply. Maybe I am not understanding you correctly but this is copied from the manual
Linked/Unlinked Buttons When a channel is in Linked mode, channel level is displayed along with monitor level, and the two levels maintain their relative settings when channel level is adjusted. When a channel is in Unlinked mode, its monitor level is independent of its channel level, so when its monitor level is set to a particular value, that setting won’t change when you increase or decrease its channel level. An easy way to think of the Linked/Unlinked concept is that Linked is post-fader and Unlinked is pre-fader. In other words, when a channel is Linked, its monitor level is relative to its channel level, so a baseline monitor mix can easily be established, since it will be the same as the main mix. Incremental adjustments can then be made quickly, i.e. just turn up the vocals a little more, and the monitor mix will replicate the main mix. Most input channels are in Linked mode by default, but channels such as guitar amps, that are usually loud on stage, default to Unlinked mode.
I apologise if these are stupid questions and I appreciate the replys
