VST Connections: Setting up input and output busses
When selecting an input bus for a track you can only se-
lect busses that correspond to the track’s channel config-
uration. Here are the details for input busses:
• Mono tracks can be routed to mono input busses or individual
channels within a stereo input bus.
• Stereo tracks can be routed to mono or stereo input busses.
For output busses any assignment is possible.
To disconnect input or output bus assignments, select
“No Bus” from the corresponding pop-up menu.
Viewing the busses in the mixer
Ö Note that only the output busses are available in the
mixer – not the input busses.
The available output busses are represented as output
channel strips in the mixer (shown in a separate pane to
the right). You can show or hide output channels by click-
ing the corresponding button in the mixer common panel:
Output channels
The output channels are shown to the right in the mixer.
Here you can do the following:
• Adjust the output level for the busses with the faders.
• Open the Channel Settings window to add effects or EQ.
These will affect the whole bus. Examples of effects you may want to add
here include compressors, limiters and dithering, see the chapter “Audio
effects” on page 85.
About monitoring
The Main Mix bus (the default output bus) is used for mon-
itoring (see “Setting the Main Mix bus (the default output
bus)” on page 12).
You can adjust the monitoring level in the Mixer.

Assignments that will lead to feedback are not avail-
able in the pop-up menu. This is also indicated by a
one-way symbol.
