Setting Up A Mix

The control centre has 96 confi gurable mix buses (72 auxes and 24 matrices);
the auxes can be set to mixes, subgroups or mix minus. All of the mixes can
also be set up as stereo pairs or mono. 24 matrix outputs can also be accessed
directly from input channels via level controls, which gives the control centre the
ability to provide 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, identifi cation of mixes is by colour coding.
The overview displays in the GUI channel strip (see below) show the status of the
mixes, which are colour coordinated to match those in the sends section of the
control surface.
