mix allows you to create the perfect balance in your song. use it to control levels, pan, eq, compression and fx sends.
a good mix can make or break a song and subtle changes can make a big difference so try things out and see what sticks!
press mix to open mix mode.
press M1 to view and edit the levels, pans and sends for each track.
press the track button corresponding to the track you wish to mix.
press mix while in mix mode to switch between instrument and auxiliary tracks. you can mix both instrument and auxiliary tracks.
just as in any other mode, instrument tracks will light up in white and auxiliary in red, allowing you to quickly identify what tracks you are mixing.
rotate the dark gray encoder to adjust the fx i send for the chosen track.
rotate the mid gray encoder to adjust the fx ii send for the chosen track.
rotate the light gray encoder to adjust pan for the chosen track. press down on the encoder to reset the pan to center.
rotate the white encoder to adjust the level for the chosen track.
hold shift and press a track button to mute or unmute it. while holding shift, unmuted tracks will light up in white (for instrument) or red (for auxiliary) and muted tracks will be unlit. mutes affect notes and not audio.
to mute the track you are currently editing you can alternatively press down the white encoder.
hold one, or multiple, track buttons while in mix to solo those tracks.
hold instrument or auxiliary and press a track button to quickly mute or unmute a track. if you hold instrument you will be able to mute instrument tracks, or auxiliary to mute auxiliary tracks.
rotate the dark gray encoder to add or remove low frequencies. this is great for making basses more pronounced or taming bass that is too loud.
rotate the mid gray encoder to add or remove midrange frequencies.
rotate the light gray encoder to add or remove high frequencies. use it to brighten or darken your sound.
rotate the white encoder to blend between two eq settings. at lower settings the eq will always be neutral and at higher settings it will accentuate only the selected frequencies. this is perfect for performances where you want to quickly accentuate certain frequencies or do quick sweeps.
press M3 to adjust the master saturator.
rotate the dark gray knob to adjust the gain into the saturator.
rotate the mid gray knob to adjust the clip in the saturator, this will cut off loud dynamics.
rotate the light gray knob to adjust the tone of the saturator, filtering high or low frequencies.
rotate the white knob to adjust the mix, how much you hear the saturator in the master mix.
press M4 to adjust the master parameters in your project.
rotate the dark gray encoder to adjust the percussion group level. any percussive engines such as the drum sampler will automatically route through the percussion group.
rotate the mid gray encoder to adjust the melodic group level. any melodic engines such as the synth engines and sampler will automatically route through the melodic group.
rotate the light gray encoder to add compression to the master bus. subtle compression can even out your mix by quietening loud sounds and boosting quiet ones. extreme compression can squash your whole mix and build a heavier, hard hitting sound.
rotate the white encoder to boost the master level going into the output limiter.
