The <dfn>Bundle Manager</dfn> simplifies connecting I/O channels in cases
|
|
where similarly purposed instruments/mics are scattered across
|
|
a multi-channel audio interface. A common scenario is recording a drumkit
|
|
with 6 mics. If you need to re-route the mics in the session, instead of
|
|
connecting each and every one of them separately, you can create a bundle
|
|
and connect just the bundle.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Bundles can be created for both sources (e.g. mic inputs) and destinations
|
|
(e.g. studio monitors). You can create as many bundles as you like.

<h2>Creating a bundle</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Click <kbd class="menu">New</kbd> button to create a new bundle.
|
|
In the newly opened dialog, give it a name, choose whether you want this
|
|
to be a bundle of source or destination channels, then connect the ports
|
|
that you want to collect to the bundle port.

<h2>Connecting a bundle</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
When connecting a bundle to a port, it works as a convenience proxy
|
|
for the physical ports. Clicking to connect a bundle (here, "Guitar
|
|
tracks in") to an input automatically connects all the actuel ports
|
|
in the bundle at once.

<h2>Editing and deleting bundles</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
At any time you can re-open the Bundle Manager window, select a bundle,
|
|
click <kbd class="menu">Edit</kbd> and change connection of physical
|
|
ports to the bundle. Close the window to apply changes.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can easily delete an existing bundle. Open the Bundle Manager window,
|
|
select a bundle, click <kbd class="menu">Delete</kbd>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Reusing bundles</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
As bundles are part of a session rather than a global setting, you can
|
|
save them as part of a template for further reuse. Simply create a new
|
|
session, create and connect tracks, busses, and bundles, then save your
|
|
session as a template. Choose this template when creating a new session.
