THE MIXER
84
The Mixer signal flow
The basic signal flow for a channel in the Mixer is as follows:
Note that the Solo function is true “in-place” solo, meaning that if the channel
uses Auxiliary sends routed to effect devices, the soloed output signal will also
include the Aux Return signals (from the soloed channel(s) only). Hence, you will
hear the soloed channel(s) including any Aux Send effects.
Note also that if the pre-fader send mode is activated for Aux 4 the send is
tapped after the EQ and Pan controls but before the channel fader.
About the EQ modes
With Reason 2.5, the EQ modules in the Mixer were improved to get an even
better sound and character. However, if you want to play back songs made in
previous Reason versions, you may want to use the “old” EQ mode to ensure
that the songs sound exactly the same.
On the back of the Mixer you will find a switch for this - select “Improved EQ” for
the new EQ types or “Compatible EQ” for the old-style EQ. The parameters are
exactly the same in both cases.
The Auxiliary Return
Section
The Auxiliary Returns provide an “extra” four stereo inputs in addition to the
Mixer’s 14 stereo channels. The main function of Return channels is to provide
inputs for connected Send effects devices. Each Aux Return channel has a level
control, and a read-only tape label that display the name of the device con-
nected to the Return channel.
The Master Fader
The Master L/R fader controls the summed output level of all channels in the
Mixer. Use this to change the relative level of all channels, to make fade-outs etc.
