OverviewThe Pyramix Mixer has evolved into an extremely powerful tool kit. The extensive range of components and therouting and automation possibilities can be a potential source of confusion. However, the basic principles are simpleand logical. Signals enter mixer strips at the bottom, go through various controls and processing to the top ofthe strip where they are routed to a bus or buses. The buses run horizontally and the sum of the bus signals entersthe bus master strip at the top and moves down through a master fader and other controls to the output(s).Native VS3, VST and External Insert plug-in effects can be inserted in Input Strips, Aux Send Bus masters, Sub-Groups and Mix Buses.Note: For low latency foldback when recording an artist the Direct Monitoring Strip typeshould be used.The mixer can also take the output from an ASIO enabled application and merge it into the MassCore engine andI/O and send audio to the ASIO enabled application.If you are new to Pyramix, please use one of the simpler mixer templates to become familiar with the basic features.E.g.
