The Mixer
Loading selected channels
To load Mixer settings saved for selected channels, pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Select the same number of channels as when you
saved your Mixer settings.
• The Mixer settings are applied in the same order as they
were saved.
For example, if you save the settings for channels 4, 6 and 8, and apply
these settings to channels 1, 2 and 3, the settings saved for channel 4
are applied to channel 1, the settings saved for channel 6 to channel 2,
and so on.
2. Open the Mixer context menu and select “Load Se-
lected Channels”.
A standard file dialog opens, allowing you to locate the saved file.
3. Select the file and click Open.
The channel settings are applied to the selected channels.
Loading all Mixer settings
Selecting “Load All Mixer Settings” from the context menu
allows you to open a saved Mixer settings file, and have the
stored settings applied to all channels for which information
is included in the file. All channels, output settings, VST in
-
struments, sends and “master” effects will be affected.
Routing
When you play back an audio track (or any other audio-re-
lated channel), you route it to an output bus. In the same
way, when you record on an audio track you select from
which input bus the audio is received.
The input and output routing for a channel can be set up
via the Inspector or the Mixer. For large projects, it is con
-
venient to use the Mixer for this, since it allows you to set
inputs and outputs for multiple channels at the same time.
• In the Inspector, you can select input and output busses
using the Input and Output Routing pop-up menus.
Ö For audio-related channel types other than audio track
channels (e.
g. VST instrument channels, group channels,
and FX channels), only the Output Routing pop-up menu
is available.
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.
!
When applying Mixer settings to fewer channels than
Mixer settings available in the saved file, some of the
saved settings are not needed and will be “left over”.
Since the saved settings are applied from “left to
right” (as shown in the Mixer), the settings for the
channels furthest to the right are the ones that are
not applied to any channels.
!
This function does not automatically add channels!
For example, if the saved Mixer settings are for 24
channels, and the Mixer you apply it to contains 16
channels, only the settings for channels 1 to 16 are
applied.

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