Mixing/Monitoring/Aux Buses
These are the summing buses where signals from the mixer input strips can be routed to.
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 master machine to record the final mix. They can also be routed via Internal Return Busses. Apart
from their other uses, these enable the final mix to be recorded in Pyramix.
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
Provides several stereo outputs and allows any input strip to be routed to any or all of them
Surround Mix - 5.1 format
Multiple Surround Mix - provides several surround outputs and allows to route any mixer strip onto any
of them.
Note: Unlike mono and stereo multiple busses, input strips can only be routed to ONE
5.1 destination of a multiple surround bus. This reflects their normal use. E.g. a com-
mon set-up will have three surround busses for Dialogue, Effects and Music Stems. A,
B and C. Each Input strip is routed to the appropriate surround bus by clicking on the
A,B or C selector buttons.
When the multiple surround bus is selected as the Surround Monitor Bus source (Its
Select Mix button is lit) All three surround busses are summed for monitoring.
Multiple Mix Busses
Mono / Stereo
When a mono or stereo multiple mix bus is added to the mixer a routing matrix box appears in the input
strips with a send level control (mono) or pan control (stereo).
