automixed version of the signal is selected.

Sound Reinforcement Version
The sound reinforcement version is processed with the parametric
equalization, noise cancellation, optional feedback elimination processing,
automatic gain control, dynamics processing, automixer, fader, delay, and
input mute. This is the path that is typically used for sending local audio to
loudspeakers in the room for sound reinforcement.
The automatic gain control on the sound reinforcement path is different from
the automatic gain control on the noise cancelled version of the signal in that
the sound reinforcement automatic gain control will not add gain to the signal.
In other words, the sound reinforcement AGC will only reduce the gain of the
signal and will not add gain to the signal. This restriction on the sound
reinforcement AGC is to prevent the automatic gain control from reducing the
available potential acoustic gain before the onset of feedback.

The automatic gain control on the sound reinforcement processing path will not add
gain to the signal, it will only reduce the gain of the signal.
Recording/Ungated Version
The recording version of the processed input signal is specifically designed to
not include any gain sharing or gated-style of automatic microphone mixing
processing. The recording/ungated version of the input is used for recording
applications or in any application where an un-automixed version of the input
signal is required.
