MIXING TAB
The Mixing tab gives you full access to
the 48-channel mixer in the 828es,
which provides a main mix bus, monitor
bus, three group buses, seven aux buses,
and a dedicated reverb bus. Use the
Device tab to configure how many
inputs you wish to work with (up to 48).
Use the Routing tab (page 15) to route
channels to the mixer inputs. Channels
can come from any source, such as the
physical inputs on the interface,
channels coming from the computer, or
channels coming from the AVB network.

the reverb processor. Use the reverb
send on inputs or groups to route
them to the reverb bus, which can
then be mixed in with the main mix
or aux busses. Disable the reverb
processor to use it as an extra group.

output of any other bus, or it can act
as a separate Solo bus. See page 19.
