• An aux channel strip, which is used for a variety of signal routing purposes
For example, if Send slot 1 of the left channel strip is routed to Bus 4, the fourth auxiliary
channel strip is shown. Clicking Send slot 2 on the left channel strip (routed to Bus 7)
updates the right channel strip to show the seventh aux channel strip. Selecting a particular
output in the Output slot of the left channel strip displays the chosen output channel
strip to the right. If the left channel strip is simply routed to an output channel strip, the
output channel strip is shown by default.
You will perform most plug-in insertion, channel strip routing, and channel strip
configuration tasks as part of your creative workflow in the Arrange window. You should
use the Arrange channel strips for all related functions discussed in this chapter, rather
than accessing the Mixer. For details about working in the Mixer, see the
chapter.
