Audio File Format: Sample Format
The audio data format that Mixbus uses internally. New recordings will be stored in this format, and files will be con-
verted to this format when imported.
• Float (floating point 32-bit) (default value) Allows extra headroom above 0dBFS for JACK-enabled connections
and/or bounces within Mixbus.
• 24-bit: If you plan to record live sources from a A/D converter and do not use internal bouncing-to-disk, then
24-bit will save some disk space.
• 16bit: If working with audio sourced from a CD, this uses half the storage space of "float" option.
Audio File Format: File Type
The file type that Mixbus uses internally.
• Broadcast Wave: Industry standard .wav files with an additional time-stamp that may be used in some soft-
ware. File size is limited to 4GB.
• Wave: Industry standard PCM file. File size is limited to 4GB.
• Wav64: Industry standard PCM file. Uses 64bit length value in the header allowing nearly limitless recording
length at any sample rate.
• CAF: Same as Wav64, but this format is only common on OSX.
Sync: Send MTC ( OSX / Linux only )
Send MTC (MIDI Time Code) from a MIDI port. Can be used to maintain sync with an external drum machine,
sequencer, video player, or other MIDI device.
Sync: Send MMC ( OSX / Linux only )
Send MMC (MIDI Machine Control) from a MIDI port. Can be used to start/stop drum machines, video players or
other MIDI devices.
Sync: Use MMC ( OSX / Linux only )
Mixbus will respond to MMC machine commands (stop, play, record-arm, etc).
Sync: Timecode ( OSX / Linux only )
This selects the SMPTE timecode format for the session, including "drop" formats and HD formats. For more infor-
mation see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_rate
Sync: Pullup ( OSX / Linux only )
In professional video post-production, pullup/pulldown is sometimes required to accommodate the differences
between film and video rates.
Sync: Subframes ( OSX / Linux only )
SMPTE clocks may be separated into 80 or 100 subframes (for display purposes only).
Control Surfaces: Remote ID ( OSX / Linux only )
• Remote User Defined: Remote controls, such as MMC, will number the tracks according to the user-specified
Remote Control ID chosen for each track/bus.
• Remote Mixer Defined: Remote controls, such as MMC, will number the tracks according to their order in the
Mixer window.
• Remote Editor Defined: Remote controls, such as MMC, will number the tracks according to their order in the
Edit window.
Control Surfaces: Auto Rebinding ( OSX / Linux only )
If using a MIDI fader controller, this should be ON.
Control Surfaces: Feedback ( OSX / Linux only )
Some generic MIDI controllers have indications for the current setting of a knob. If you controller has this feature
then this should be ON.
