    - Audio Aux? say what? I am sure most people will have noticed that they - can find no Aux strips in the Ardour mixer. There are none. - There are busses that can be used a number of ways. From analog days, - in OSC, a bus is something that gets used as a sub mix before ending up - going to Master. An auxiliary bus is used like a separate mixer and - its output goes outside the program or computer to be used as: - a monitor mix, a back up recording, or what have you. In OSC where - controller strips may be limited, it may be useful not to use up a - strip for an aux that is not really a part of the mix. It is also - useful to get a list of only aux busses if the control surface is a - phone used to provide talent monitor mix control on stage. Each - performer would be able to mix their own monitor. The user is free - to enable both busses and auxes if they would prefer. -
