Chapter 11: Mixing
Control 24 provides comprehensive support for
the Pro Tools mix environment. This includes
the ability to access and control input and out-
put configurations, inserts, sends, auxiliary in-
puts, master faders and mix automation.
This chapter will build on the basic input and
output assignments introduced in the last chap-
ter with descriptions of more complex types of
signal routing and fader control.
Signal Routing
A Pro Tools session can contain three different
types of audio channels:
Audio tracks control audio from disk, and input
signals when record-enabled.
Auxiliary inputs provide the same signal routing
options as audio tracks, except that their input
must come from an internal buss or hardware
input.
Master Faders control the master output levels,
and can be assigned to any output or buss path.
Pro Tools 5.1 supports as many as eight chan-
nels on a single track. However those channels
are controlled by a single fader on Control 24,
regardless of path complexity.
Although the routing and configuring of MIDI
tracks differs in various ways from the way it is
done with audio, a MIDI track will appear and
function in basically the same way as an audio
track on Control 24.
The assignment procedure for aux inputs, sends,
and master faders is essentially the same as for
audio tracks.
Channel Input and Output
Use the Assignment section in conjunction with
a channel’s encoder knob to determine the
source input and destination output for audio
and MIDI tracks.
For more information about routing assign-
ments, see “Assigning Channel Input” on
page 93.
