Project and Mixer Configuration
Use this to set the number of tracks, AUX busses and submix busses. You can also define
effects and signal routing for the tracks and the master.
The window of the first track is always opened for effects routing of individual
tracks/busses. In order to reset the settings of all tracks you have to click on the
corresponding “All Tracks” button in the “Effects Routing” window.
There are two further options aside from the routing buttons:
Adv. Dynamics for Mixer “Dyn.Limiter”: In the Mixer master the resource-saving “normal”
dynamics can be used as a Dyn./Limiter or as advanced dynamics of higher quality.
Automatic latency compensation: Activates automatic latency compensation for DirectX
and VST plug-ins. This is activated by default.
Signal (output) routing for the master
Keep current setting: Each track is assigned to an audio device (or a submix bus). The
final mix then takes place in external equipment or on the sound card.
Stereo Master: Normal mixing occurs in Samplitude's stereo master. If your sound card
provides several devices, select one in the Mixer (below the volume faders) or in the Play
parameters (Shortcut: “P”).
Surround Master: If this setting is chosen, master channels are provided for 5.1 surround
mastering. Read the chapter “Working in 5.1 Surround Mode” for more information.
Keep current number (tracks, AUX and submix busses)
By checking this box you can prevent the current settings from being overwritten when
loading a Mixer preset. The current status of this checkbox is also saved when saving a
preset. Therefore, if you quickly want to add a few tracks, (e.g. 4 AUX busses and 4
submix busses), you only have to load the “4 Busses +4 AUXes” preset.
So, when loading a preset, the respective tracks and busses where the box is not checked
are added. In other words: Place a tick before saving where the settings are not to be
included in the preset.
Device Setup (Track ordering, routing)
In this section, you can conveniently select the in- and output device assignment for several
tracks simultaneously.
I/O Devices: Define the routing for playback, recording or both.
