|
||
Mix</strong> where all the instruments can be heard clearly.</p><h2 id=mixing-tools>Mixing Tools</h2><p><strong>Levels</strong>, <strong>Panning</strong>, <strong>Equalization</strong> (<strong>EQ</strong>), and <strong>Compression</strong> are the main
|
||
tools used to achieve a good Mix. In addition to these core tools, a
|
||
wide range of Plugin effects can also be used to enhance the sound, such
|
||
as <strong>Reverb</strong> and <strong>Delay</strong>. </p><h2 id=introducing-the-mixer-strip>Introducing the Mixer Strip</h2><p>The <strong>Mixer Strip</strong> is the vertical column that contains various
|
||
controls related to signal flow. Each Track and Bus in Ardour has its
|
||
own Mixer Strip. The Mixer Strip is also the main tool we will use in
|
||
the process of Mixing our Tracks. In this chapter, we will get a general
|
||
overview of the Mixer Strip, with each section described. We will also
|
||
provide references to chapters containing information specific to each
|
||
aspect of the Mixer Strip.</p><h2 id=the-mixer-strip-from-top-to-bottom>The Mixer Strip from Top to Bottom</h2><p>Mixer Strips can be accessed from both the <strong>Editor Window</strong> and the
|
||
<strong>Mixer Window</strong> (shortcut “<em>Alt</em>” + “<em>M</em>” to toggle between the two). Mixer Strips in either
|
||
window (Editor or Mixer) mirror each other: any actions performed on a
|
||
Mixer Strip in the Mixer Window will be reflected in the corresponding
|
||
Mixer Strip in the Editor Window, and vice-versa. The Editor Window and
|
||
Mixer Window are more fully explained in the <strong>An Overview of the
|
||
Interface</strong> chapter. </p><p>In the <strong>Editor Window</strong>, you can see the Mixer Strip of the currently
|
||
selected track on the left side of the window. If you don’t see it, hit
|
||
“<em>Shift</em>” + “<em>E</em>” to display the Editor Mixer Strip.</p><h3 id=overview>Overview</h3><p>Here we see the entire Mixer Strip, as it would appear in either the
|
||
Editor Window or the Mixer Window.</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Mixer_Strip_1.png alt=strip1></p><h3 id=regular--narrow-modes>Regular & Narrow Modes</h3><p>The Mixer Strip can be switched between the regular width and a more
|
||
narrow width to conserve space. The very top part of the Mixer Strip,
|
||
pictured below, switches between regular and narrow modes using the left
|
||
button. The right button hides the Mixer Strip entirely.</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Mixer_Strip_Top.png alt="strip top"> </p><h3 id=track-name-and-routing-button>Track Name and Routing Button</h3><p>Continuing from top to bottom, the next section of the Mixer Strip
|
||
contains three narrow regions. The first of these regions shows the name of the Track (that’s the word
|
||
“<em>Audio 1</em>” in the image below). The next region, named “<em>1</em>” in the image below,
|
||
is a button which allows access to the input Routing. Please see the
|
||
<strong>Understanding Routing</strong> and <strong>Recording Audio</strong> chapters for more
|
||
information on input Routing. The last narrow region controls phase
|
||
reversing (we won’t go into details on this topic in this tutorial).</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Mixer_Strip_2.png alt="strip 2"></p><h3 id=processor-box>Processor Box</h3><p>The large black region at the bottom of this section is the <strong>Processor
|
||
Box</strong>. This is where you can add Plugins, for example. The processor box
|
||
will always contain a blue Fader processor. This indicates where in the
|
||
processor chain the main channel fader is located — this is the fader
|
||
shown in the lower half of the strip. Please see <strong>Using Plugins</strong> and
|
||
<strong>Using Sends</strong> for a detailed discussion of this area.</p><p>The next portion of the Mixer Strip includes controls for Panning,
|
||
Record, Mute, and Solo, among others.</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Mixer_Strip_3.png alt="strip 4"></p><h3 id=panning>Panning</h3><p>Panning has to do with placement of sounds anywhere between Left and Right
|
||
speakers. Please refer to the <strong>Panning</strong> chapter for more information.</p><h3 id=solo>Solo</h3><p>When a Track or Bus is on <strong>Solo</strong>, all the other Tracks or Busses which
|
||
are not likewise on Solo will be inaudible through the Master Bus or the
|
||
Audition. We can also find a miniaturized Solo Button in the Track
|
||
Mixer. Note that soloing a bus will not silence any tracks and
|
||
vice-versa.</p><p>When any Track or Bus is on Solo, the <strong>Solo Indicator</strong> in the
|
||
Auxiliary Controls menu will flash red. Clicking the Solo Indicator
|
||
while it is flashing will deactivate every Solo in the Session.</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Mixer_Strip_4.png alt="strip 5"> </p><h3 id=mute>Mute</h3><p>Any Track or Bus on <strong>Mute</strong> will be inaudible through the Master Bus or
|
||
the Audition. The Track Mixer also contains a miniaturized Mute Button,
|
||
in between the Record Arm Button and the Solo Button. Right-Clicking on
|
||
the Mute Button gives you advanced options for the behavior of the mute
|
||
button.</p><h3 id=arm-record>Arm Record</h3><p>The Rec button arms the track for recording, as seen in the <strong>Recording
|
||

|
||
used to adjust the overall gain for the corresponding Track or Bus. The
|
||
<strong>Peak Meter</strong> shows the Peak Value of the selected track, and is
|
||
located directly to the right of the Fader. Each Peak Meter consists of
|
||
one <strong>Bar Graph</strong> in the case of a Mono Track, and two Bar Graphs in
|
||
case of a Stereo track. The small rectangular field above the meters
|
||
shows the highest Peak Value that has been played on that track so far.</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Mixer_Strip_5.png alt="strip 7"></p><p>By clicking the right-hand button at the bottom of the Mixer Strip (it
|
||
reads “<em>post</em>” in the image above), you will be able to select the
|
||
<strong>Metering Point</strong>, for example the direct “<em>in</em>” from the sound card,
|
||
the “<em>pre</em>” Fader signal, or the “<em>post</em>” fader signal.</p><p>As you can see in the image below, there is a smaller version of the
|
||
Mixer Strip in each Track, called the <strong>Track Mixer</strong>, which contains a
|
||
horizontal <strong>Fader</strong>, a vertical <strong>Peak Meter</strong> as well as miniature
|
||
buttons for <strong>Arm Record</strong>, <strong>Mute</strong>, and <strong>Solo</strong>. They all mirror
|
||
those found in the Mixer Strip for that Track.</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Mixer_Strip_6.png alt="strip 6"> </p><p>Please refer to the chapter on <strong>Mixing Levels</strong> for more detailed
|
||
instruction about using the Fader and Peak Meters.</p><h3 id=routing>Routing</h3><p>Finally, we reach the bottom of the Mixer Strip. Here we find the
|
||
<strong>Output Routing Button</strong>, marked as “<em>master</em>” in the earlier
|
||
screenshot, which is discussed in the <strong>Understanding Routing</strong> chapter.</p><h2 id=continuing>Continuing</h2><p>Now that we’ve had a look at the main areas of the Mixer Strip, we can
|
||
proceed to the <strong>Mixing Levels</strong> chapter to see how we can start to use
|
||
it.</p><p>Next: <a href=../mixing-levels>MIXING LEVELS</a></p><footer class=footline></footer></div></div><div id=navigation></div></section><div style=left:-1000px;overflow:scroll;position:absolute;top:-1000px;border:none;box-sizing:content-box;height:200px;margin:0;padding:0;width:200px><div style=border:none;box-sizing:content-box;height:200px;margin:0;padding:0;width:200px></div></div><script src=/ardour-tutorial/js/clipboard.min.js?1647875365></script>
