Pyramix Mixer : Mixer Components
Mixer Components
Input Strips
Mixer Input Strips associated with tracks (the pale green box in the track header) are fed by and control the
monitor output of the tracks. The Mixer Strip Channel
Live
(physical) or
Internal Return Bus
Input goes
direct to the associated Track. When a strip has no associated track it is fed by and controls the
Live
(phys-
ical) or
Internal Return Bus
input assigned to it.
When the strip has an associated track, the track output is automatically switched between input and play-
back output depending on transport mode, the monitoring setting in the track header and the setting of the
Settings > All Settings > Application > Playback/Record : Auto-monitoring
option,
European Moni-
toring (all tracks turn to INPUT on stop)
or
US Monitoring (only Record Ready tracks turn to INPUT
on stop)
Note:
When strip channels have an associated track
NONE
of the strip controls, fader,
mute, eq etc. affect the signal fed to the track input.
Mixer Input Strips have the same functions as the input strips of any standard mixing console providing
level control, pan, mute, etc.
The following types of input strips are available:
•
Mono input Strips
•
Stereo input Strips
•
MS decoder Strips - decode a Sum and Difference signal to standard stereo format
•
GPS (General Purpose Strip)
Mixing/Monitoring/Aux Busses
These are the summing busses where mixer strip signals are routed to. Each bus type (Mix or Aux) has a
Repro
button in the Master section to allow this bus to output signal only when the system is playing back.
No signal will be output in
Stop
or
Record
modes, for example to avoid audio feedback (howl round) in the
Studio main speakers when Tracks auto switch to input when
Record
ing
or
Stop
ped.
Mix Bus
A mix bus is the destination for the final product of your mix. The outputs of a mix bus are usually routed to
a master machine to record the final mix. They can also be routed via
Internal Return Busses
. Apart from
their other uses, these enable the final mix to be recorded in Pyramix. Main
Mixing
and
Aux Busses
also
appear in the
Monitor
.
Mix Busses are available in several formats:
Mono Mix
Provides a single mono output. Any input strip can be routed to it.
Multiple Mono Mix
Provides several mono outputs. Any input strip can be routed to any or all of them
Stereo Mix
Provides a single stereo output. Any input strip can be routed to it
Multiple Stereo Mix
