Mixer Configuration
Mixing Engine Performance
The Mixer Configuration section sets the size of the mixer. The mixer can have 16, 32, or 64 channels,
with 8 stereo groups, 16 stereo aux channels, an L/R/C/M main buss, and an 8-channel stereo matrix
(depending on the selected configuration). The maximum mixer size is license-dependent.
Refer to Appendix A of this manual for details concerning mixer licenses and configurations.
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.
The Mixing Engine Performance panel 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.
Setting Maximum Latency
The network buffer is the amount of time it takes for audio to stream from the I/O to the server and back. This
determines the maximum latency for a processing route. Set the Server Network Buffer size in the Server rack of
the System Inventory page.
Internal Routing
0–32 samples
0–64 samples
up to 128 samples
Server Network Buffer
40–56 samples
80–112 Samples
