It sounds like you're new to 'professional' mixers. You would NEVER normally use an aux for effects. Any effects will normally be inserted in the sound chain using an insert. You have a pair of group inserts if you are wanting to apply an effect to the output (these are after the mix) and would typically be used for master de-essers or possibly compressor limiters or maybe even an equaliser, it would not be sensible to use an effect like a delay/reverb here.
I would have expected you to be using the group outs for the monitor mixes and am not sure what you may be using them for otherwise. If you used these you would free up 4 of the Aux outs for a 'multi channel' reverb/echos which you could take back into other channels and back into the main mix.
What is it you are tyring to achieve?

You just need a USB audio interface ... the outputs from your mixer are analog, which will plug into the right/left inputs on the audio interface ... and the audio interface connects to the computer via USB ... this is a very common way to do it ...
There are a lot of devices out there ... I'm using a Tapco Link.USB audio interface ... not too expensive ... you don't need anything fancy ...
Once you get the USB audio interface (by the way, if you are using a Mac you probably do not need to install any software for it) then you want to make sure your audio inputs are set to use it ... there are two ways to do this .. first way is right in the Cooledit software, if there is a place to tell the software what the input audio device is ... if this is not possible then change your systems general audio settings to select the USB audio interface for sound input.
That's it!

SOURCE: Hi, I don't know how to hook up the compressor
There are so many possibilities for connection it is not practical to try other than a very cursory explanation.
The first thing is WHAT channels (usually only microphones) do you want to have the compression on?
Then do you want the equalizer for all the output, or jsut parts of it. for all channels you cn take the outputs iof the board to the equalizer, and the output of the EQ to your power amps.
NOTE: all these interconnect should be balanced connecs either TRS or XLR cables.
For the compressor, you will probably select the mics into one of the SUB busses and send that to the compressor, then feed the output of the compressor back into the board on an auxilary channel input into the main mix...
For the mic channels you will NOT have the L-R button selected, but instead the desired Sub Buss.
Sending diagrams are near impossible on this system...

Decide if you want to use the AUX's or the SUB's for your monitors. (usually use the AUX).
Connect TRS cables from the appropriate AUX sends to thee amplifiers you use for your monitors or your powered monitors whichever you have.
Adjust the level using the AUX level controls for each channel to set your minitor mix.
Normally use the PreFader AUX's so monitor levels are set independent of the slide fader positions.
Here is a big hint for you: Search YouTube.com for "Soundboard" or "Soundboard setup". There are good videos there that might be different than your particular board, but there is enough commonality that you will soon be an expert!
SOURCE: How can I set up
This unit has 2 AUX sends, both of which can be used as monitor mixes. The top controls on each channel determine the pre-fade level for each mix.
Conenct a cable from the AUX out (either 1 or 2) to an amp. The only restriction is that the level control is a knob rather than a slider.
If you have any other questions, please update this and I'll try to answer for you.

Can you hook up in one of the channels and use it for the effects for the other channels as well? Surely someone has the answer...
