If you're wanting to monitor pre-fader for already recorded stuff, then no, there doesn't seem to be that option (and its not an option I would ever use myself, so do you have a description of why you would use it that way?)
I'm wanting to monitor pre-fader for all recorded material. ie. so when you adjust the fader it doesn't change whats happening on the VU meters. They just show the levels reaching them.

This is a standard feature on all audio equipment I've ever used. This way you can monitor the gain structure as it is coming from the region, or out of the FX plugins etc.

I personally don't see the point in monitoring post fader as it does not provide me any useful information. But I'm willing to be proven wrong!
