Console Mixer Channels are part of the Console Mixer Agent - please read the main article first before continuing.
The Console Mixer Agent creates 24 stereo input channels when the Agent is created. The user also has the option to create 'effect channels', which can then act as an effect send/return bus within the Console Mixer Agent.
A Console Mixer Channel has the following Ports:
left | audio | input |
The left audio input is normally used to receive left channel audio data from upstream Agents (e.g. Summer)
right | audio | input |
The right audio input is normally used to receive right channel audio data from upstream Agents (e.g. Summer)
volume |
The Volume port determines the mixer channel's volume - a value of 100 is equivalent to 0dB.
pan |
The Pan determines the mixer channel's position within the stereo field - 0 (default) is centre, -1 is hard left and 1 is hard right.
enable |
The Enable port turns the effect send on or off.
prefader |
The Prefader port determines whether the effect send is pre-fader or post-fader - when Prefader is on the mixer channel's volume does not affect how much audio is sent to the effect, when Prefader is off changing the mixer channel's volume will also change how much audio is sent to the effect.
send |
The Send port controls how much audio is sent from the mixer channel to the effect.
