Mixer Settings
CONFIGURATION
The Configuration section sets the size of the mixer. The mixer can have 8, 16, 32, or 64 channels, with 8 stereo groups, 8 AUX
channels, 16 stereo monitor channels, and an L/R main buss (depending on the selected configuration and license).
Mixer size is normally established when a session is created, but you can change the mixer configuration of an existing
session. Please note that if you reduce the number of channels in a session, the parameters in channels that are no longer
part of the session will be discarded. Save a session under a revised name before you reduce its size. Mixer Layers without
any channels are unavailable and their buttons are grayed out.
MIXING ENGINE PERFORMANCE
This sets the mixer’s internal processing priority, which affects DSP performance.
In the Latency Optimized mode, a processing cycle must include all signal processing
paths, so there is no internal routing latency. However, processing in this mode can be
less DSP efficient with certain plugin processors. In the DSP Optimized mode,
processing can spread across several buffer cycles, regardless of signal path position.
This parallel processing provides greater DSP efficiency, with increased latency on
certain signal paths.
