Mixer Strip Creation
f Adding or deleting a
strip “defragments” the
effect/DSP resources. If
you have used all your
effects and need another,
try deleting an unused
strip.
PatchMix DSP is a dynamically configurable mixer. Each mixer session can contain an
arbitrary number of strips up to a limit set by the number of available input sources and
available DSP resources.
You must create a strip for each mono or stereo audio input, and for each ASIO stream
you wish to use in your software application. This is important because outputs will not
appear in your software application until you have created ASIO strips in PatchMix.
