Legacy Mixer
WARNING! Legacy Buses should be converted for compatibility.
Converting Legacy Buses
Existing legacy Buses can be converted to the new General Mixing Buses. Right-click on the legacy Bus and select
Bus > Convert ‘Bus XXX’ to the General Mixing Bus model.
A new General Mixing Bus will be created for legacy Surround Buses, Stereo Buses. Mono Buses are converted to
General Aux Buses since General Mixing Buses do not have Gain Control.
A new General Aux Bus will be created for legacy Aux Buses and also for Mono Mix Buses.
A new General Aux Group will be created for legacy SubGroup Buses.
In each case a new Panning Bus is created and associated with the new General Mixing Bus and all automation
related to the legacy Bus is transferred to the new Panning Bus.
Surround Buses:
For Multi-Stem Surround groups, multiple General Mixing Buses will be created, one per stem. This is the new par-
adigm for Multi-Stem. Each new Bus/Stem can be modified later with the Room Editor to reduce (or extend) the
number of Channels independently for a more optimized use of Buses, Channels and I/Os.
The new Panning Control Bus Panner Type is set to Surround Panner for all Input Strips but can be changed later
to 3D Panner or Pan/Balance per Strip.
The new Panning Control Bus is set to Dual Source Mode, Dual Panner for each Stereo Input Strip.
The Channel Router option is selected for any GPS Input Strips and the grid set as per the legacy Bus. However it
is recommended to switch to the Panning Bus mode in order to benefit from full re-panning.
Stereo Buses:
The Panning Control Bus Panner Type is set to Pan/Balance for all input strips, but can be changed later to 3D
Panner or Pan/Balance per Strip.
The legacy panning mode is converted to the Panning Bus modes Balance, Single Pan, Dual Pan.
Legacy 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
