Chapter 6: Busses
6.1 Introduction to Max Air Busses
Max Air has 24 Main busses, 24 Group busses, 16 Aux busses, and a stereo Solo bus.
See page 73 to learn about the Bus Lock feature.
Main Busses
Max Air has 24 Main sections, each with between one and eight individual busses. For
example, a stereo main section contains two busses and a 5.1-channel main section con-
tains six busses. Main busses have playback returns, aux and groups do not.
Group Busses
Group busses are used to route channels to multitracks, DAWs, complex mix-minus
feeds that require more than one channel being subtracted (see page 108 for convention-
al mix minus bus routing), and sub-groups. Group busses can be configured to any for-
mat but are usually set to odd/even stereo pairs. With Pan switched out, they act as
mono busses.
Aux Busses
Aux busses are used for effects, foldback, and complex mix-minus feeds that require a
separate level control for each channel (see page 108 for conventional mix minus bus
routing). Aux busses can be configured as mono or stereo pairs and can be set pre- or
post-fader.
Solo Bus
The Solo bus is fixed at stereo. After Fader Listen (AFL) and Pre-Fader Listen (PFL)
route signals to the solo bus. Each strip’s fader also has a Backstop PFL function: move
the fader past the bottom of its travel to activate the PFL solo mode (see Backstop PFL
on page 93). Solo In Place (SIP) is a destructive solo mode and does not use the solo
busses. See Solo Mode on page 140 for more information on SIP.
