Setting bus paths

The one big difference between bus paths and the rest of the paths that we have…been discussing is they don't relate directly to hardware I/O. This means you…are not limited by your hardware setup, these are soft buses, and I think you…will find endless uses for them.…Let's open up the I/O Setup page again and go to Bus.…Let's set up a New Path, just like any other path, except as you see, there's no interface.…We could have tens of these if we wanted.…So we assign a 5.1 to the path.…

It's still on the same Default Path Order configuration.…Let's make some Sub-Paths.…I am going to make six Sub-Paths.…Sub-Paths are extremely important in bus paths.…Have a look at the chapter on Mixing to see all the ways we use them.…So I am going to assign these Sub-Paths each to a Mono.…This is a common bus configuration used to fold down 5.1 mixes to smaller mixes…like LCRs, Stereos, Quads, whatever it is that you need, now you have individual…sub-paths as well as the 5.1 bus.…

Because there are no hardware limitations, we can set up as many buses as we…
