 Right clicking the number of a channel allows the option to select between the
properties "AUX bus", "Submix bus", or even both for the according channel
strip.
 Submix or AUX buses are always stereo buses.
 Submix buses can be fed from tracks with a lower channel number just as a
physical output device.
 Submix and AUX buses can be used for all channel effects, including volume,
panorama automation, and AUX send. You can align your output to output
devices or submix buses with a higher channel number the same way as any
other channel.
 Automation of volume and panning for AUX and submix buses are the same
as for all other channels.
Embedding external effects devices
In order to include external effects devices you require an audio interface with
several in- and outputs, whereas one input/output pair is reserved for the
external effects device.
Routing the signal
 You can loop the signal either as an effect or insert.
 Insert send: Route the channel output directly to the physical output of the
card that is to feed your external device.
 Insert return: Select a mixer channel (insert return channel) which the effects
signal should be sent back to. In the input section of the channel, select the
sound card input connected to the output of the device you want to loop in.
 External send effect: Create an AUX bus that is fed from the corresponding
AUX send from different channels. The output of the AUX bus has to be routed
to a physical output of the sound card. Connect the output of the effects
device to the desired input of the sound card. The sound card input is
connected to the mixer channel by selecting the corresponding input section
of the sound card in the dialog window of the input section of the AUX return
channel.
Tips and tricks
 Master normalization is a mixer feature which allows you to quickly set the
output level to 0 dB. If the limiter in the master section is active, then the
output level is also monitored, thus preventing level clipping.
