264 Chapter 8 Basic Mixing in Soundtrack Pro
Audio post-production projects typically include many tracks and submixes. The
following diagram shows the signal flow of multiple tracks to just one submix. While
this is an unlikely scenario, it illustrates the fact that you can route as many tracks to a
submix as you like. See “
Example: Mixing a Project with Dialogue, Music,
and Effects Submixes ” on page 266 for a typical example.
Setting the Submixes for Tracks and Busses
To be included in a project, the audio signal of each track and each bus must be routed
to a submix. By default, in new multitrack projects, there is only one submix (Submix 1)
and all tracks are routed to Submix 1. You can add as many submixes as you like and
route as many signals from tracks and busses to those submixes as you want.
To create a more elaborate project (as described in “ Example: Mixing a Project with
Dialogue, Music, and Effects Submixes ” on page 266), you create additional submixes.
To add a submix, do one of the following:
m Choose Multitrack > Add Submix.
m Control-click a submix, then choose either Insert Submix Before or Insert Submix After
from the shortcut menu.
Once you have created multiple submixes, you can route any combination of tracks or
busses to any submix.
To set the submix for a track or bus:
m Choose the submix from the Submix pop-up menu in the track header or at the
bottom of the Mixer channel strip for the track or bus.
If you choose None from the pop-up menu, you are effectively removing that track or
bus from the mix and from the final output.
