Setting Channel Strip Output

On a hardware mixing console, you can send signals to different busses and physical
outputs. You can create submixes and busses in Soundtrack Pro, assign tracks and
busses to different submixes, and assign submixes to physical output channels on
connected audio devices. You can send audio from as many tracks and busses to the
same output as you want.

To set the submix for a track or bus:

m

Choose the submix from the Submix pop-up menu at the bottom of the channel strip
for the track or bus.

For submixes in the Mixer, the Output pop-up menu lists the available output channels.

To set the output for a submix in the Mixer:

m

In the channel strip for the submix, choose the output channel or set of channels from
the Output pop-up menu.

The options listed in the Output pop-up menu depend on the number of available
physical outputs and the number of submixes in your project. For more information
about setting the output, see “

Setting Hardware Outputs

” on page 265.
