Routing and mixing digital audio
Any audio track can be tapped, before or after the track volume control, and sent to one or more
buses. A bus can tap any number of audio tracks. Each track’s data passes through the track’s send
level knob on its way to the bus. This is shown in the following figure.
A. Pre-fader: output level to Bus 1 is not affected by the track’s volume fader B. This track is routed to Bus 1 and
Bus 2 C. Send enable button: must be lit to send track data to bus D. Post-fader: track’s volume fader controls
