Mixer Strip Creation - E-Mu 404 Owner's Manual

Mixer Strip Creation

PatchMix DSP is a dynamically configurable mixer. Each mixer session can contain an
arbitrary number of channel strips up to a limit set by the number of available input
sources and available DSP resources.
You must create a strip for each mono or stereo audio input, and for each ASIO stream
you wish to use in your software application. This is important because outputs will not
appear in your software application until you have created ASIO strips in PatchMix.
