Figure 6.1: Audio Instruments & Routings WIndow
TIP: If a track contains only audio data,
you can open the Audio Instruments &
Routings Window directly from either the
List or Graphic Window by clicking the
Instruments button ( ).
As can be seen in Figure 6.1, the Audio
Instruments & Routings Window contains
sections for the following items:
• Audio Instruments are assigned to
audio events (residing in tracks), and
determine how the events are
outputted.
• Inputs correspond to the physical
inputs of your audio hardware. Inputs
appear as input sources in the Console
Window and record sources in
the Record Monitor.
• Outputs correspond to the physical
outputs of your audio hardware. Outputs
are assigned as destinations for
Audio Instruments, Audio Sends, busses,
and even hardware inputs.
Outputs can also be used as input
sources in the Console Window or
record sources in the Record
Monitor.
The Acadia audio system supports a
maximum of 24 hardware outputs.
• Busses (up to 16) act as mono or
stereo destinations for groups of console
channels (via sends), they can
also be assigned as outputs. Busses
are useful for creating auxiliary sends
to shared plug-ins, submixes, and
master faders.
Any of these items (which we will often
refer to as audio channels) can act as
input sources in the Console Window or
Record Monitor.
