Channel volume - *usually somewhere around zero, for a variety of reasons mostly based on the reliability and sensitivity of analogue faders,

Master volume - appropriate to the requirements of the venue/event.


*except for situations where you’ve set the gain appropriate to the preamp requirements but “fader at zero” results in a channel too loud for the context, for instance a hi-hat mic as part of a drum kit where the channel fader would be about -5.
