Chapter 14 Audio
If you play back audio in the Clip Viewer or Logging Tool, you can define the Audio Monitor with this bus.
To do so, assign channels A1 to A4 to the appropriate output channels (for example, on the sound card).
The Classic bus is visible only if you activated the corresponding option in the Audio Editor Settings. The
Clip Panning section is not visible until you activate classic routing.
In Classic Routing, make sure the lines are drawn from the subsums to the four logical outputs A1 to A4.
Only then will you see four level bars in the clip fader and classic bus fader.
Multiple Busses of the Same Type
You can configure several busses of the same type as well as combine different busses and route them to
the same outputs by means of mapping. This is a quick way, for example, to activate or deactivate alterna-
tive mixes.
Automatic Bus Display
Which output busses are available on this tab depends on the configuration of the Audio Mixer.
In the default configuration (with each new Sequence), only one Stereo output bus is available.
If you need more stereo busses or other busses, click the Settings tab, activate the Logical Output Bus
option and, if necessary, activate Classic Routing (A1 to A4). In the Mixer section for Logical Output Bus-
ses ( page 832), you can then configure new busses and route Tra c k s to existing busses.
The System’s Physical and Virtual Outputs
In Output Mapping, the computer system’s available and active physical and virtual outputs are arranged
on the right-hand side above the logical output busses. “Physical” means that real ports exist for these
outputs where cables can be connected. A virtual output is, for example, the Fuse/Export Routing descri-
bed below, where only audio files are generated.
 DirectSound -
This refers to the built-in sound card or chip (or one of these cards or chips) that is the primary
device for monitoring the audio signal. If multiple DirectX sound cards are installed in your sys-
tem, one of them must be selected as the “Default device” under Windows Control Panel >
Sounds and Audio Devices. The parallel operation of multiple sound cards is not possible under
Avid Liquid.
 ASIO sound card (hardware driver and name) -
See “ASIO Driver and DirectSound” on page 808
 Audio Scrub -
The audio signals generated by audio scrubbing can be routed via the logical output busses to a
virtual output called Audio Scrub. You can actually listen to these signals via the active Direct-
Sound or ASIO device.
