SSL Mixer Manual - Absolute Professional Audio

Next, select the Create tool again, click in the blank area of the
mixer strip under the track insert. The mixer elements menu that
you used to create the track insert will appear again.
This time, select "multi EQ 4-Band (Stereo)", then release the
mouse button.
The Multi EQ module is now inserted.
The strip is simple but it is now complete.
In Mixer Edit mode, take some time to experiment with the other
tools. It's possible to move or copy any mixer element within a mixer strip using the
Move or Copy tool.
It's also possible to move or copy an entire mixer strip to another mixer column. If the
destination column is already occupied by a mixer strip, that mixer strip and any
other mixer strips will automatically be shifted to the right to make room as
necessary.
Clicking on the input or output element with the I/O Assign tool will allow you to
select a different input source or output destination. With the Delete tool, you can
delete any mixer element or strip by clicking on it.
Placing mixer elements into the mixer strip
Clicking with the Create tool in an existing mixer strip opens a menu displaying all mixer elements that are available to insert.
The selected element is inserted as soon as the mouse
button is released.
If you have followed the step by step mixer strip creation
procedure described earlier above, you are already familiar
with this menu. There is no limit to the number of elements
that can be inserted in a mixer strip (within the available
DSP power).
If you insert too many elements and the height of the strip
cannot be fully displayed in the SSL Mixer window, a vertical
scroll bar will appear.
It is also possible to resize the window. Even if there seems
to be no space left in the mixer strip, existing mixer
elements will automatically be moved to make space for a
new one at the point where you click.
On the right you see the top part of a mixer strip that
contains a mono peak meter, a sample delay line, a 4-Band
multi EQ, a SSL dynamics, and 4 send elements.
The window has not been resized while these plug-in
elements were inserted, therefore a vertical scroll bar
appears on right hand side.
Signal routing in the mixer strip
The signal routing is always from the top to the bottom of a mixer strip. For instance, if you place a track insert below an EQ,
this is the position at which audio will be recorded or played back (i.e., if an audio sequencer records from this particular track
insert, it will record the equalized signal).
Using the internal buses
The Mixer has 64 internal digital buses for each hardware unit (MX4 or Mixpander) installed on the host computer.
These can be used to distribute or group signals that are to be sent to an internal effects processor or a master fader.
Any output or send element can be routed to a bus and the input for any mixer strip can also be a bus instead of an external
input.
The same bus can be the input for as many mixer strips as required, allowing easy signal distribution in the Mixer.
