272 Chapter 8 Basic Mixing in Soundtrack Pro
Example: Combining Track Signals with Sends and Busses
You can also send the signals from multiple tracks to a single bus, creating
“intermediate submixes.” For example, you could route every dialogue track for a
particular actor to a bus with the actor’s name. You could adjust the volume of all the
actor’s dialogue using the bus volume fader and add an EQ effect that brings out the
actor’s voice in the mix. You could then send (route) the bus to a particular submix.
In the above diagram, tracks 1 and 4 contain dialogue from the actor, Jacob. Each of
these tracks has a send applied to it that taps the signal and routes it to a bus (named
“Jacob”). This bus is effectively an intermediate submix. Now, any effects and fader
adjustments applied to this bus will be available during the final mix as a single
channel strip (named “Jacob.”)
For more information about using sends and busses in the Mixer, see “ Working with
Sends and Busses in the Mixer ” on page 286.
