Editing the Bus Configurations
After you have set up all the required busses for a project you can edit the names and change
port assignments. The bus configuration is saved with the project.
Removing Busses
PROCEDURE
● In the Audio Connections window, right-click a bus in the list and select Remove Bus.
You can also select the bus and press Backspace.
Changing Port Assignments
You can change the port assignment of busses in the Audio Connections window.
●
To change a port assignment, click in the Device Port column of a bus and select a new
port.
●
To assign different ports to the selected busses, open the Device Port pop-up menu for
the first selected entry, press Shift, and select a device port.
All subsequent busses are automatically connected to the next available port.
●
To assign the same port to all selected busses, open the Device Port pop-up menu for the
first selected entry, press Shift-Alt, and select a device port.
Renaming Multiple Busses
You can rename all the selected busses at once using incrementing numbers or letters.
●
To use incrementing numbers, select the busses that you want to rename and enter a new
name for one of the busses, followed by a number.
For example, if you have 8 inputs that you want to be named “In 1, In 2, …, In 8”, you
select all the busses and enter the name In 1 for the first bus. All other busses are then
renamed automatically.
●
To use letters from the alphabet, select the busses that you want to rename and enter a
new name for one of the busses, followed by a space and a capital letter.
For example, if you have 3 FX channels that you want to be named “FX A, FX B, and FX C”,
you select all the channels and enter the name FX A for the first. All other channels are
renamed automatically. The last letter that can be used is Z. If you have more selected
entries than there are letters available, the remaining entries are skipped.
NOTE
You can begin renaming from any position in the list. The renaming starts from the bus where
you edit the name, goes down the list to the bottom, and then continues from the top until all
selected busses have been renamed.
Identifying Exclusive Port Assignments
For certain channel types, the port assignment is exclusive.
Once a port has been assigned to such a bus or channel, it must not be assigned to another bus,
otherwise the connection to the first bus will be broken.
The corresponding ports are marked in the Audio Connections window on the Device Port pop-
up menu.
