CHAPTER 7:
Acadia: Audio Channels in
Consoles
AUDIO IN CONSOLES
Before reading this chapter, you should
be familiar with Visions’s Console Windows.
If you haven’t done so, please read
Chapter 38: The Console Windows in your
MIDI Reference Manual.
In addition to controls for volume, pan,
mute, and solo, Console Windows provide
additional processing and routing capabilities
for audio channels. These include:
• 4 Plug-In inserts assignable to
VST-compatible plug-ins;
• EQ with up to 4 independent bands,
along with Phase control;
• 4 Sends routeable to either hardware
outputs, or to any of 16 busses;
• 16 Busses for creating submixes
and master faders, and for routing to
shared plug-ins.
• Outputs assignable to hardware outputs
or any of 16 busses.
Figure 7.1 illustrates a console channel
with most of its processing and routing
capabilities displayed. These individual
components (sends, plug-ins, EQs, and
outputs) will each be discussed in detail
later in this chapter. For now, it’s important
to grasp the basic signal flow for an
audio channel within a console.
