Auto Mixers

Mute In turns the input signal on/off. Level In adjusts the relative input volume. Ch / Bus assigns inputs to the output. Mute Out turns the output signal on/off. Level Out adjusts the relative output volume.

Right-clicking over certain settings will provide a menu of additional options. Unlike other components, Mixers allow labeling of inputs/outputs within their dialog boxes. See Channel Identifier under Object Property Sheet.

Mic Options opens a separate control dialog box to establish global settings.

Designated Mic On / Last Mic Hold determines which microphone (if any) will stay/become active when no signal is present. Logic Outputs Follow Mic Logic assigns logic outputs to follow Designated Mic On / Last Mic Hold. Open Mic Limits enables (and designates) a maximum allowable number of active microphones.

Right-clicking over Ch / Bus assignments allows selection of two additional dialog boxes.

Channel Settings affects individual channel settings, but may be applied to all channels. Manual turns on/off channel gating. NOM Gain turns on/off channel contribution to NOM (number of open mics) attenuation. Direct Output designates channel direct output signal as Post Gate / Pre NOM, Post Gate / Post NOM, or Off. (Direct Outputs must be enabled when placing Auto Mixers from the Object Toolbar.) Set All causes current Channel Settings to be applied to all channels. Off Attenuation determines the amount of attenuation applied when channel is inactive. Gate Hold Time determines length of time before channel becomes inactive, once signal is no longer present.

Logic Outputs affects individual Logic Output settings, but may be applied to all Logic Outputs. (Logic Outputs must be designated when placing Auto Mixers from the Object Toolbar). Logic Output selects Follow Gate, On, or Off condition of the Logic Output. Invert reverses operation of the Logic Output (off when channel active). Set All causes current Logic Output settings to be applied to all channels.
