Matrix bus channels

One frequent request is submix groups, but the “CPU” can’t allow more channels/mixing.
I wonder, what if the user can “convert” any channel into “matrix routing”, with no eq/compressor/etc?

Just levels of all other channel mains (pre fader?).

So we could have a channel “drums”, set level for any input drums channel, the out will be one drum group that can be routed to mains/aux/phones…

I think the simpler way to implement is add “Matrix bus” into Quick selection.

Hi,

after some sketch, re-thinking & re-done, I ended into an advanced proposal!

  1. add Matrix Channel to Quick channel;
  2. The core processing is a 8 x (2+6) ch matrix;
  3. Each subchannel should be an unmatrixed/avalaible input ch (including USB and such);
  4. Each subch has selectable PEQL/PCL/PFL/AFL original channel source;
  5. optional EQ/COMP IF there is CPU processing power (no gate),

Usage: as a matrix mixer, as a “duplicate input with different processing”, as a group 8ch mixer, up to 8ch-into mono/stereo rerouter, as “phones listening submix”.

Cons: the input sockets used as matrix are “blocked”, no input…
