Topic: Samplitude 12 - Routing

[kcmule]

Perhaps I'm being dense here but seems to me the mixer lacks some basic routing
functions that consoles have (well, the "cheap" Crest console I typically look at
anyways).  It's either that, or the mixer is to complex for me 

The Crest I've used (HP-Eight), the fader section of the matrix has 8 channels
of submixes (four pairs of two), a left, right, and mono.  Routing to a submix
is done in pairs.  IOW, you can route any channel to 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 or any
combination thereof.  Each submix can then be routed to the left/right.  Each
channel of each pair and the left/right has it's own pan knob.  Pretty simple
and provides ways to get more output (and panning) from your console without
overloading a single channel when you need more of something.

In Samplitude, it seems you can only route any channel to a single submix and
the master left/right only has a single pan knob.

Is Samplitude's designed work flow to route channel 1 to a submix and then
pan the channel hard left and the submix hard right (as an example)?

I suppose I could always double each channel (insert it twice, which will likely
introduce phase issues) and then pan each lef/right.  Leaving submixes to be
used as groups for strictly level control or effects when/as needed.

Am I over thinking this?

I think what you want to do is to create a new submix bus. Panning is available so I assume this type of buss is stereo.

In the menu... Track->Insert New Tracks->New Submix Buss

You can go to the stereo buss or to one of your added submix busses

If it's a stereo track I think it would be routed as stereo to the submix buss, just like to the stereo master buss and the pan can change the blend going to each.
If it's a mono track the panning would control how much goes to left or right.

For each track you can assign it to the stereo master or to an aux or submix buss.

I'm aware of how to assign and insert a new submix bus, that's not the issue.

It's the limitation of only being able to send one channel to one submix/group.
Guess I'll just duplicate the channel(s) if need be.  Not that big of a deal, it just
seemed odd that it is single assignment only.
