Audio Mixer
Mixes audio between sources and outputs. The window reports what the mixer is, and configures ambisonic decoding where the mixer is ambisonic.
Properties
|
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Name / Id |
Name and numeric id of the mixer. |
|
Inputs / Outputs |
How many channels come in and go out. |
|
Sample Rate |
The rate the mixer runs at, or Not set. |
Ambisonic
Present when the mixer is ambisonic — a format that stores a whole sound field and decodes it to whatever speaker layout is present, rather than storing one channel per speaker.
|
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Ambisonic order |
How finely the sound field is resolved. Higher orders localise better and need more channels. |
|
Ambisonic decoder method |
How the field is decoded to the speaker layout. |
|
Normalization |
The normalisation convention the material uses. |
|
Channel ordering |
The channel order convention. |
|
Ambisonic encoder |
How sources are encoded into the field. |
|
Encoder post-processing scaling |
Scaling applied after encoding. |
Normalization and channel ordering are conventions, and material does not always say which it uses. Getting either wrong produces a field that decodes to plausible but wrongly-placed sound — it will not sound broken, it will sound misplaced.
