audio signal
Five channels are combined and can be output as a single channel of audio.
Using a Bus Output
As an example, all the channels of the main mixer devoted to drums can
be assigned to a bus. As mentioned previously, the relative mix of all the
components of the drum sound would remain the same; the levels are based
on the individual channel’s level settings. By sending all the drum channels
to a bus, the entire drum kit’s volume can be raised or lowered from a single
fader.
Stereo Drum Mix Example
By using two bus outputs, a stereo drum sub‑mix with panning can be
created. The drums are assigned to two bus outputs, usually consecutive
numbers such as 1 and 2, or 3 and 4. The stereo pan (or left/right balance)
from the drum kit is then set by using the mixer’s Pan knobs. To get the floor
tom into only the right speaker, for example, its pan knob should be turned
to the fully clockwise position.
Aux Sends (Effects Sends)
An Auxiliary Send (also called an Aux Send or effects send) is typically used
on a live or recording console to send the sound from a channel into an
effect device such as a reverb. Using a dedicated set of knobs found in each
channel strip, each channel can have a different amount of the effect applied
as needed.
