Automix Matrix

Access the Automix Matrix (Figure 5.24) by pressing the Auto- mix Matrix button in the Signal Path window.

This window is an interactive overview of all the possible automix routings assignments and priorities. There are three main auto- mix functions; Ducking, NOM and Adaptive Gating and these work as a group.

Ducking is based upon the 16 inputs, these inputs are assigned a priority (1 being the highest) and involves cutting an input based upon a gate being open for a higher priority. NOM is a reduction based upon how many open mics are in the group and Adaptive Gating moves the threshold of the gate based upon an external source.

Colors denote the type of function assigned from the input to the automix group, Blue=Ducking, Yellow=NOM and Green=Adaptive Gating. Assignments set up in the matrix take on the color of the active function and, if two or more functions are set up then the color will change to red. If the individual input enable switches are off then the colors become faint and, if the group functions are disabled then the numbers become white although the assignment remains.

The group function is enabled by clicking on the rows (either Duck, Nom or Gate) at the top of the window. Clicking on the Group row numbers at the very top of the window accesses the group controls window for that group number.
