The Flexbus structure allows for many different bus
track types to be created or changed.
The power of the FlexBus system is that it allows users to direct signals to many different places at
one time, achieving complex mixing scenarios. Perhaps you need to generate two mixes that are
identical in content but need to be of different output levels. You can designate two mix buses,
one with an output level of -2dB true peak and one with an output level of -10dB true peak. The
final mix signal is sent to one bus that is then broken into two more buses, one with a limiter set to
-2dB and one set to -10 dB, creating these two different mixes at one time.
Using Legacy Fixed Busing
If you want to work using the previous method of fixed bus mapping, you can do so for new
projects by opening the Fairlight panel of the Project Settings, and turning on the “Use fixed
bus mapping” checkbox. This checkbox can only be enabled in new projects in which no
timelines have yet been created. Once you’ve created one or more timelines, this option is
locked to whatever the project was set to. Older projects have this setting enabled by default
to preserve the previous mix.
Types of Buses
FlexBus makes all buses inputs, outputs, and sends user definable. A brief discussion of typical bus
types and their uses is described below.
Mains
Main buses are typically the primary output of a program; each new project you create starts out with a
single Main called M1, to which all tracks are routed by default. You can add additional Mains, and you
can use them however you like, as either full or partial mixes of the program you’re working on. Mains
can be directly output in the Deliver page.
