The Concept
You’re probably familiar with the concept from hardware audio mixers: All have at least one three-band
equalizer with send-effect and effect-return connections plus the associated faders, whereas high-end
models have many more options. The Avid Liquid Audio Mixer can also do more than just adjust the vol-
ume level and pan/balance; it also integrates audio effects. In this context, we make a distinction between
Insert Effects and Send Effects. The only difference is in their application; they are actually the same VST-
compatible audio plugin effects (“Avid Liquid Plugin Audio Effects (VST)” on page 875).
Each fader (you can also call them “channels”) represents a percentage of the total Timeline audio for
your Sequence. All the audio clips on a specific Timeline Track are routed through the assigned faders, as
illustrated here in a very simplified form:
One fader per track: All stereo audio clips on A2 are edited with fader A2
In this simplified configuration, the Audio Mixer is configured only to adjust the volume. Insert effects
will be added in the next section.
