DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION
eMix is a studio mixer with 4 mono channels, 4 stereo channels and 4 sends. EQ, solo and mute are available on all strips as appropriate.

Solo is implemented so that the entire channel strip is still active. In other words, solo is not a separate bus, but simply tells that channel to be on, along with any other selected solo channels (but without any that are not soloed).

The sends are stereo on the stereo channels. The knobs control 1/2 and 3/4 respectively, with on buttons for each pair. On the mono channels there is still only one knob per pair, but each of the four sends can be selected individually. This given a greater degree of control than is usual.

Any of the stereo pairs can be assigned to either side of a cross-fader. When this is on, the master is fed by the output of this cross-fader. Otherwise the master is fed from the normal summed stereo bus. Note that in either case the meters are active, so you have some idea of the signal before you punch in the cross-fader.

The master section has a fader both pre- and post- the master compressor. This is a 2-knee design, with a low and high threshold, each with its own ratio. As is usual, there is an attack and release control, calibrated in milliseconds. The vertical display show you visually where the thresholds are set.

This instrument consumes about 9% of the CPU on my computer. For reference, this is about half of what Carbon 2 uses.

CREDITS
Compressor is from the Reaktor library, by Erik Wiegand (c) 2003 Native Instruments. Some of the mixer functions started out as the Studio Mixer macro. The cross-fader was extracted from Reaktor DJ by Keisuke Sudo. Other parts may be derived from other places, but who can keep track, y'know?

This instrument (c) 2006 Robin Parmar. Use it as you will, tear it apart, improve it. But don't sell it and please reserve this note.

I should add a big thank-you to all of the great instrument designers who have done so much to make this a vital community. I know that a new mixer is not much to give back, but it's all I can offer at my level of competency. Cheers!
