b To A Function
The output of Mix Bus B can be injected into Mix A by engaging the
b To A
button in the web browser. This would be
useful for applying parallel compression to drums on Mix B (using the Mix B insert point) before blending the compressed
drums into Mix A (containing the uncompressed instruments).
Mix B is injected post the Mix A insert point but pre Mix A level control. If you wish to inject the output of Mix B pre Mix A
insert point, we suggest you take one of these two alternative approaches:
1. Take the Mix B output and connect it back into a stereo input of Sigma, being sure only to route it to Mix A to avoid
an unwanted feedback loop.
E.g.:
mIX b oUTPUT > SIGmA STereo CHANNeL > roUTe To mIX A > eNGAGe INSerT
HINT: By bringing the output of Mix B into a channel input of Sigma, you are able to automate it like any other channel.
or:
2. Instead of using Mix A’s insert point to connect your analogue processing equipment, simply connect the output of
Mix A directly into any outboard equipment and take the output of this into your DAW to print back the mix. As a final
step you can send the output of this stem out of your DAW into the EXT input of Sigma, to monitor your printed mix
post D/A conversion.
eNGAGe b To A FUNCTIoN > mIX A oUTPUT > ANALoGUe ProCeSSING > DAw INPUT.
(Final Step)
DAw oUTPUT > eXT INPUT oF SIGmA > moNITor eXT INPUT.
USer buttons
Two User buttons on the front panel allow you to assign up to four functions.
Each button has a
Push
and a
Push & Hold
operation.
By default the User buttons are set as follows:

moN box
The
moN
box on the front panel indicates the control room monitor source(s) currently selected. This could
be any combination of
mIX A
,
mIX b
or
eXT
(front panel iJack input and line-level connection on rear panel
D-Sub).
ALT L/S
indicates if you have selected the alternate speaker set and
moNo
shows if you are listening to a
mono foldown of the stereo mix.
All of these selections can be engaged/disengaged through the web browser.
HINT: The
MON
