Setting up a mix
The control centre has up to 32 configurable mix buses (16 auxes and up to 16
matrices), each of which can be used as aux mixes, subgroups or mix minus. All of the
mixes can also be set up as stereo pairs or mono. Eight matrix outputs can also be
accessed directly from input channels via level controls, which gives the control centre
the ability to provide up to 32 discrete mixes, plus left, right and mono. The mix
sections (input fast strips) and the mix and sends sections (mix and master bays)
provide mix control and navigation, while the bus mode selection is via GUI only.
Similarly to the inputs and groups, identification of mixes is by colour coding.
The overview displays in the GUI channel strip (see Figure 17) show the status of the
mixes, which are colour coordinated to match those in the sends section of the control
surface.
