Adding Direct Monitoring Input Strips
To add a Direct Monitoring Strip right-click on a blank area of an existing strip to the right of where you wish to
add it. Select
Strip > Add > Mono -Direct Monitoring, Stereo - Direct Monitoring or MS - Direct Monitoring
from the context menu as appropriate. Or use the
Configure Mixer page. Please see: Strip and Bus operations
on page 213
Note: If Auto-Delay Compensation is turned on for the Mixer then the recording from a Direct
Monitoring Input Strip will be in sync with the existing Tracks while maintaining minimum
latency for foldback to the artist.
Mixing/Monitoring/Aux Send and SubGroup Buses
These are the summing buses where mixer strip signals are routed to. Each bus type (Mix, Aux Send or SubGroup)
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 monitor when Recording or Stopped.
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 mas-
ter machine to record the final mix. They can also be routed via
Internal Return Buses. Apart from their other
uses, these enable the final mix to be recorded in Pyramix. Main
Mixing, Aux Send and SubGroup Buses also
appear in the
Monitor.
Mix Buses 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
Provides several stereo outputs and allows any input strip to be routed to any or all of them
Surround Mix - 5.1 format
Multiple Surround Mix - provides several surround outputs and allows to route any mixer strip onto any of them.
Note: Unlike mono and stereo multiple buses, input strips can only be routed to ONE 5.1 destina-
tion stem of a multiple surround bus. This reflects their normal use. E.g. a common set-up will
have three surround bus stems for Dialogue, Effects and Music. Each Input strip is routed to the
appropriate surround bus by clicking on the Stem ‘X’ button.
All surround bus stems can be summed for monitoring in the Monitor.
