ABSTRACT

Computers have changed people's lives, the music industry, audio engineering, and mixing. Audio sequencers normally offer destructive in-place solo. Control grouping, or just grouping as it is often termed, can be very useful with editing. However, when it comes to mixing, there is something of a love-hate relationship. Audio grouping provides the freedom to both individually and collectively process. As opposed to consoles, software mixers do not provide routing matrices. Individual tracks are sent to a bus of choice, and, similarly to audio grouping, the bus is fed to an aux track. The effects plugin is loaded as an insert on the aux track, and people must make sure that its output is set to wet signal only. The input/output routing facility can be useful for more than grouping and sends. Digital waveforms are represented by a series of numbers.
