Auxiliary Page Uploaded

My description of the auxiliary section has been uploaded to the Mixer in a Box site. This page is complete with screen shots of the primary screens associated with the auxiliary section.

The SAC aux section consists of six full stereo modules. Each can be patched with either plugin effects or as hardware send and returns. This offers a great deal of flexibility. While six aux busses may not seem like a lot, there are twenty five consoles in the Software Audio Console package. Many of the functions that require an aux buss in a hardware console can be better served by using an additional console with SAC.

The Scenes Page is Live

I have recently uploaded a description of the Scenes System in the Software Audio Console. The SAC scenes system is very powerful and easy to use. You have the resolution to control a single parameter on a single mixer up to a global snapshot of all twenty five mixers. Check out the page on the main site at: The Scenes System in SAC

Effects Page Posted

I have just posted a page on the Effects system in the Software Audio Console on the Mixer in a Box site. There are a wide variety of plug-in effects that can be used with the SAC system. There are several native plug-ins and most any VST or DX plug that does not cause latency can be used in the environment. I used some screen shots to help explain the system.

I also added a second SAC in Action video. Both videos are on the same page and can be reached from the left nav column.

Mixer Views Page

There is another new page on the site. It is the mixer views page. It details some of the different views that are available with the virtual mixer. I have illustrated the new material liberally with screen shots and even have one trick up my sleeve. Check it out and find the trick!

A New Page for the New Year

There is a new page and a slightly different look to the Mixer in a Box site. I have added some pictures on the home page to break up the text and make the site a bit more friendly. I have also added a new page.

The Z Mixer page has a picture of the Z Mixer strip and a description of the controls on the strip. I put the mixer picture in a scroll box, so that it looks and acts much like the Z Mixer in the SAC GUI.

I made the picture by taking screen shots of the various parts of the Z Mixer and stacking them together with my photo editor. I use IrfanView and it has a vertical panorama function built in. If you look closely you will be able to see a couple of the seams, but over all it came out quite well.

I will be adding pages for the Wide Mixer (or is that whole mixer), the Send/Return section, and the output section with pictures and descriptions in the near future. More pages and information should make the site more interesting.

While I was working on the site I did some minor update work and found that I had never activated the comment system. I activated the comment system and added a Quick link at the top of a couple of pages to the comment box. Stop by and check out the site and say hello in the comment box at Mixer in a Box.
