Setting up a mix
The PRO2 has 24 configurable mix buses, each of which can be aux mixes, subgroups
or mix minus. The aux mixes can also be set up as stereo pairs (restricted to like-
coloured buses) or mono. To keep the control surface manageable, access to these
mixes is confined to the mix section in the channel detail area, which can be scrolled up
and down on a ‘virtual’ surface.
Figure 6: Mix section
On the GUI, the bank of mix buses in each input fast strip (see Figure 7 below) are
colour matched, but also show mix bus status information.
