Path A and B mixing?

[joel_silber]

It's unclear to me from the manual how stereo Path A and stereo Path B are handled at the outputs.  I assume that the two stereo signals will be mixed with equal contribution from both Paths, but it would be great if someone could confirm.

 

I think the text is slightly ambiguous in that it implies completely independent processing.  Or is the point that independent processing *is* possible if you select different outputs for each?  But they will of course get mixed together 50/50 if the outputs are the same.

First we need to get the terminology right. In your diagram above there two paths, Path 1A and Path 2A. Each of paths 1 and 2 are currently using only the A stream. It is possible to create parallel paths 1B and/or 2B by dragging any of the existing blocks downward; a new path 2A and/or 2B will become visible.

 

Using just the diagram above there 2 independent Input and Output blocks; one in Path 1 and one in Path 2.  Yes, you can have completely independent processing by selecting different physical inputs (eg. guitar and mic; or guitar and aux, etc.) Each of these paths contribute their own sound and can be independently mixed, leveled (in terms of output volume) and routed to different physical outputs. If you choose the same physical output for each then, yes, the signals will be merged according to their independently specified mix and levels.

 

If you add parallel processing (the B path) to either of Paths 1 or 2 you can use the merge block that will appear in that path to mix and level the parallel paths.

You are correct.

 

All paths are stereo. If the final blocks in both paths are stereo, then Path A Left will be combined with Path B Left, Path A RIght with Path B Right.

The two paths in the illustration, being assigned to the MULTI output block type, would only have separate physical outputs IF one path were assigned to 1/4" (or digital) and the other assigned to XLR. The configuration in the illustration would send the same mixed stereo signal to all outputs.
