Mixer
The Saffire MixControl software includes a total of 16 mixes, each with a maximum of 18 channels in the mix. Up to 16 mono mixes or
8 stereo mixes, (or any combination of mono and stereo mixes,) are available, making up a total of 16 mix channels.
Note that at sample rates of 176.4kHz and 192kHz the number of mixes is reduced to 4 Mono (or 2 Stereo).
Each Mix can contain up to 18 of the possible 40 inputs signals, and each mix can be sent to any number of outputs.
Each mix shares the same source inputs, but all other mixer controls are independent in each mix.
The Mixer Section is used to create mixes for monitoring purposes. The mixes you create do not affect how the audio inputs are
routed to the DAW, nor does it affect the audio level of the signal to be recorded. What you set up in the mixer section of Liquid
Saffire 56 Control only affects what is heard in the outputs of the mix.
The Input recording levels that are sent to the DAW are therefore those set on the hardware using the Gain knobs.
An example of one use for the mixer is to record multiple artists simultaneously. (e.g. a guitarist and a vocalist are recording at
the same time, and you wish to provide them with a backing track and a feed of each other’s input signal.)
The guitarist needs to hear mainly the backing track, her guitar, and some vocals. The vocalist needs to hear the backing track,
a little of the guitar and lots of his vocals .
A separate mix can be created for each artist with the exact levels that he or she needs. Each artist has his or her own mix on
a different mix tab.
Mixer Tab
Each mix can be selected on the corresponding mixer tab.
