70 Mixing Board
OVERVIEW
Digital Performer’s Mixing Board window
provides a powerful integrated mixing
environment for MIDI and audio tracks. It also
provides access to real-time effects processing and
virtual instrument plug-ins.
The Mixing Board will seem familiar because it is
modeled after standard hardware consoles.
Lurking under the hood, however, are many
powerful features, as well as many time-saving
shortcuts. This chapter covers them all.
