input and output faders also operate in the 48
bit domain, thereby enabling loss-free cut and
even boost.
Matrix 88 is bit-transparent from all inputs to all
outputs with or without delay enabled. Bit pat-
tern transparency is indicated by green dots
next to the faders on the Mix page. Note how
Pan and Balance controls are bit transparent and
unity gain at center position. Only one channel is
affected when the control is moved away from
center position. This approach could be called
“constant transparency” rather than, i.e. “con-
stant power”.
Because of bit-pattern transparency, you may
pass and gain adjust even dithered master
tracks without introducing dither again. If the
limiter kicks in, dither will momentarily be upset,
but only at a point in time where it makes no dif-
ference anyway, namely just after a peak has
occurred.
In addition to perfect digital summing, Matrix 88
is also the ultimate A/B/C stereo switch. Inputs
may be aligned precisely in level and time, and
switching between them may have well defined
cross fades. One important application for pre-
cision switching is the ability to judge a track or
program using different processing, while keep-
ing loudness and other variables constant.
