Reset FX: Resets all effect parameters to the default settings so that effects can no
longer be processed.
Buses and routing
AUX buses
An AUX bus is a collecting bus combining all signals of the corresponding "AUX
sends" of the individual channels. AUX buses are usually used for controlling real-
time effects via the volume curve. For this purpose, part of the signal of the desired
mixer channel is sent to the AUX bus ("AUX send") and effects are added. The AUX
bus fader represents the "AUX return". This means that the higher the volume of the
AUX bus, the more effects in the mix will be audible.
Hint: The AUX tracks contained in the VIP tracks are usually not objects. They only
provide dynamic effects to other tracks.
Submix buses
A submix bus combines several tracks. It controls the volume, panorama, and effects
settings of all tracks that are “routed” to the submix bus. For example, all drum tracks
(hi-hat track, bass drum track, etc.) can be combined to one submix bus so that the
entire drum kit can be controlled via the volume controller of the submix bus.
Working method
• An AUX/a submix bus can be created in the mixer at any time. To insert a
submix bus after all channels, right click on the number of the last channel shown
in the mixer. In the appearing context menu, select "Insert Tracks -> New submix
bus". If the output of several previous channels is now routed through this bus,
the volume of all of these can be controlled centrally through the new bus. If you
have created an AUX bus with "Insert Tracks -> New AUX bus", you can channel
the signals of the previously created AUX sections into the the newly created
AUX bus. AUX buses are also the target for AUX sends with a lower channel
number.
• Right clicking the number of a channel allows the option to select between the
properties "AUX bus", "Submix bus", or even both for the according channel strip.
• Submix or AUX buses are always stereo buses.
• Submix buses can be fed from tracks with a lower channel number just as a
physical output device.
