4 - The PatchMix DSP Mixer<br />
Overview of the Mixer<br />
Mixer Window<br />
The Mixer consists of four main sections.<br />
Application Toolbar Lets you manage sessions and show/hide the various views.<br />
Main Section Controls all the main levels, aux buses, and their inserts. This section<br />
also has a “TV” which shows parameters for the currently<br />
selected effect and the input/output patchbay. It also shows the<br />
session’s current sample rate and whether the Digital Audio System<br />
is set to internal or external clock.<br />
Mixer Strips This section is located to the left of the Main Section and shows all<br />
the currently instantiated mixer strips. Mixer strips can represent<br />
Physical analog/digital inputs, or Host inputs such as ASIO or<br />
Direct Sound. Mixer strips can be added or deleted as necessary.<br />
This section can be resized by dragging the left edge of the frame.<br />
Effects Palette This popup window is invoked by pressing the FX button in the<br />
toolbar. Iconic representations of all effects presets are shown here,<br />
organized by category. From this window, you can drag and drop<br />
effect presets into the insert slots available on the mixer strips and<br />
main section aux buses and main inserts.<br />
A simplified diagram of the mixer is shown below.<br />

Pre Fader or Post Fader<br />
When creating a new Mixer Strip, you have the option for the Aux Sends to be Post<br />
Fader (both Aux Sends come after the channel fader) or Pre Fader (both Aux Sends<br />
come before the channel fader). The Pre-fader option allows you to use either Aux Send<br />
as another mix bus, which is unaffected by the channel fader. More Information.<br />
