GigaStudio 4 Reference Manual 140
Rather than tinker with the balance you worked so hard to achieve, you can send these four channels to a Group
channel, and use the Group channel’s level control as a master volume control.
The same concept would apply to a drum set where individual drums are on different channels, or backup
vocals are being mixed together.
Differences Between Input and Group Channels
Input and Group channel types are the same in all respects—insert effects, aux sends, Dynamics and EQ
processor, etc.—except for the following two differences:
•
The output of an Input channel can go to an Output Master channel, or a Group channel. A Group channel
output can go only to an Output Master channel, which connects to your hardware interface; a Group
channel cannot go to another Group channel.
• With a GSIF 2 audio interface, an Input channel can accept one of its inputs. A Group channel can only
accept the output from one or more Input channels.
Note: In ReWire mode, the outputs go to Rewire inputs rather than hardware outputs. See the ReWire chapter
for more details.
Output Masters Tab
The Output Master channels are the simplest of all channels; they are the channels that tie directly into the
audio interface outputs. There will be as many Output Master channels as there are hardware interface outputs
activated under Configuration > Hardware (Output Channels).
