Mixer Strip Creation

Adding or deleting a

strip “defragments” the
effect/DSP resources. If
any effect you wish to
add is unavailable
(greyed-out), try deleting
an unused strip to free up
resources.

PatchMix DSP is a dynamically configurable mixer. Each mixer session

can contain an

arbitrary number of strips up to a limit set by the number of available input sources and
available DSP resources.
