"mixing" is 100% the same as the basic signal processing that occurs on every "signal processing route" (known to users as tracks & busses). you can't "separate" this from mixing, but you don't have to have the editor involved at all. if you want ardour as just a mixer, you create a session with only busses, then you hide the editor window and show just the mixer. et voila. --p _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
