I'm guessing it stands for monitor. I understand now that you have the line which goes through a channel, and I assume that's the audio. Then why does monitor have it's own line? Why are there, EQ, mute and pan buttons for monitor?
I'm not even writing a paper, I just don't get this stuff. And my teacher is not very good at explaining it. I asked for a tutor but that plan seems to have fallen through.
It's a little frustrating. I can't afford to start slipping in these classes now. Everything else i at least understand what it is and why it's there. Right now, my guess is that monitor has to do with monitoring the audio? Why does it have it's own line then? What's it's signel flow? I can put the monitor line through auxerery and insert sends? Is that something people do? That makes me feel like the mon channel has to be something other then what I think it is. Like I can add effects, shelf it, compress it, pan it... so that means it goes into the finished mix, somehow...
