Linking Gain-Sharing Automatic Mixers

Sometimes you may want to select which role and/or node hosts the Gain-Sharing Auto-Mixer. If necessary, you can also break up larger devices into two or more smaller devices and link them together.

When you select the Include Link check box on the device properties, an extra input node and output node (both labeled L) are added to the device block.

The links work by forwarding the calculations from one mixer to the next so that the gain-sharing is still updated between devices.

Note: If you have created more than two Gain-Sharing Auto Mixers to be linked, you must add a mixer device to the chain so that all mixer link outputs can be mixed.

Inputs and outputs

In filtered link mode, the inputs to the mixer come from the outputs of the Side Chain filters on the input channels. The output of the mixer is linked directly into the Auto-Mixer Gate.

In non-filtered link mode, the inputs to the mixer come directly from the inputs before the Side Chain filters. The output of the mixer is linked through a Side Chain  filter into the Auto-Mixer Gate.
