Routing

The model

Audio flows through three kinds of source into your channels, and out via the main bus:

Every channel has an input selector that chooses one of:

• Hardware input: a physical input on your interface.
• DAW return: audio your DAW sends through the Veska Console.
• Mixer bus: the main bus of another mixer (for sub-mixing).

The mixer sums its channels to its main bus, which is then sent on to your hardware output (and is itself selectable as a source in other mixers).

Two ways to route

• Per-channel input selector: click a channel's input selector and pick a source. Quickest for one channel.
• Routing Matrix view (Ctrl+2): a grid of sources × destinations; click a cell to connect. Best for seeing and editing everything at once.

Example 1: Mix hardware inputs to your speakers

1. Add channels and set each one's input selector to a hardware input (e.g. Mic 1, Mic 2).
2. Balance with the faders and pan.
3. The main bus feeds your hardware output: raise the main fader to monitor.

Example 2: Bring DAW audio in

1. In your DAW, select Veska Console as the ASIO device and play audio (the status bar shows DAW: Connected).
2. On a channel, set the input selector to the matching DAW return.
3. The DAW's audio now flows through the channel and onto the main bus alongside your hardware inputs.

See DAW Integration for the DAW side.

Example 3: A headphone / cue mix with aux sends

1. Add an aux channel for the headphone mix.
2. On each source channel, bring up its aux send to that aux channel (set pre-fader if you want the cue independent of the main fader).
3. Route the aux channel's output to the hardware output feeding the headphones.

Example 4: Sub-mixing with multiple mixers

1. Create a second mixer for a group (e.g. drums).
2. In your main mixer, add a channel and set its input to the drum mixer's bus.
3. Now the whole drum sub-mix is a single fader in your main mixer.
